Found and old digishital (Nikon L840) I bought a decade ago recently, and decided to give photography a whirl. I've gone ahead and done a lot of research on tech and techniques, and settled on a Canon R50 w/ 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 lens kit. Bought a 50mm f/1.8 to practice bokeh (yes I get it's effectively an 80mm).

I'm slowly getting the idea of things, understanding the basic idea of how to make things not look like shit, etc.

How much am I leaving on the table with getting a crop (1.6x) sensor? As far as I read up, it's mostly noticable with higher ISO noise, and low-light situations.

I'm appreciating the super light weight and small form-factor, so what am I really missing out on as an intermediate photographer?
