Camera Sensor Size Explained 

Sensor size explained in under 4 minutes in a way that a new photographer (me) can understand... Good job

You are proficient at taking a technical subject and putting it in terms a neophyte can easily understand. The pictures and diagrams enhance your explanation. This is a professional presentation.

Amazing you did a very good job of making me understand sensor size in so little time. Thanks!

This is the third or fourth explanation I have found, and the best. The only one that did not say that you MUST have a full frame sensor if you want to take anything but snapshots. Thank you!

Was looking for a video that explained sensor size and this is the one that caught my eye. As a beginner Mobile and Drone photographer, this helped so much in understanding how camera sensor work. Thank you🙏🏾

This is super! It is excellent how you get to the point and show wonderful examples of what you are talking about! Keep going with your format. You will build a strong following. I really just love how you get to the point in a normal voice without senseless rambling and/or walking around showing yourself talking. Thank you for a very informative video.

The best camera sensor size explanation video out there; thumbs up.

Very informative & professional. You know your cam business. Big UPS!

I feel that another disadvantage to full frame would be that it's harder to focus pull in video because of how thin the DoF is. Great video, though!

Your videos are very helpful to understand how a camera works for beginners like me. Beautifully explained 👍

Thank you for this! I did not understand sensor resolution/size at all until I watched this.

I’m busy shopping for a new camera and this video has been very helpful! Thank you!

thanks, I'm buying a high end camera today and this video REALLY helped. I'm looking into a mirrorless full frame or mirrorless APS-C, 4k video etc. Thank you for the simple advice! A lot of other videos can't explain it simply enough and I left frustrated!

Very well explained and without the typical youtube extraneous noises and tics.

A couple of years ago I would have agreed with everything you just stated, and to a degree it’s still true. BUT (yep there is one) technology has dramatically improved. I use a number of pro ‘so called’ cinematic cameras. I also use expensive ENG cameras that have small sensors, but great image quality - even 4K. Shallow DOF is more to do with focal length and aperture than sensor size. Super 35 is a tad bigger than APS, yet the light gathering is so much better than my full frame 5Dmklll I also capture better DOF because the focal length and and better light gathering allows me to close low light situations with a wider aperture. Some of the new Sony kit today has changed the way we work. Even my Canon ENG cameras have light capturing ability that just a few years ago would have been a dream. So, today ‘bigger’ isn’t always better - the game is changing. As a last example, look at today’s smartphones. My Samsung S8 has a camera sensor so tiny you’d expect rubbish images, but no, we’ve reached amazing quality. Think phones of 10 years ago by comparison. Great video though 👍

Thank you. You explained everything in such a clear way. I am very grateful as this has been a difficult concept for me to grasp. I've subscribed. Keep it up.

Such a good explanation, thank you!

Super clear explanation while keeping it short. Only the music is a bit annoying, anyway, good job

This is the best video explaining this and the shorter one. congrats.

Great job! Super helpful and well explained. Much appreciated.

Thank-you in 2022 for not overcomplicating this explanation. I fully understand now. Low light is important to me because I record lots of indoor events and I thought I had it going on with my 1" sensor in my Sony AX700. I gotta run some low light and AF tests with the full frame sensor in my D850. I've never even thought about using it for video but I need to at least test it.

Dude how did anyone thumb this down? This video was perfect thank you for the info!!!

Great video, simple and straight to the point. I'm a student photographer however I still have so much to learn with the technology of cameras!

Excellent explanation - clear and to the point. Thank you!

you just explained everything i wanted to know GREAT JOB

You are amazing explaining staff!

Hey man thanks for the input I learned some good stuff my photography teacher never told us! Nice work

Thanks for the informative video. I was wondering how the sensor sizes stack up against one another. It's awesome how you get right to the point. Too many RU-vidrs just mug for the camera as if trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.

Wow this just cleared up so many questions I’ve been confused about for a while! Thanks so much man. I appreciate you❤️

I have both. I use my ff for potraits and the crop sensor for travel. I just like the reach of the crop when dping landscapes and wildlife.

Thanks for the video... I finally understand what a sensor means

Use full message.. Short and sweet..

great info!!! Music takes away our attention. but overall good video =)

Bro you good! Please keep pushing it cause u deserve the right recognition 👏👏👏👏

I really enjoyed video. It was really easy to understand and I learned things that I did not know... keep up the good work.

Have a like sir! Well explained!

Good info, thank you very much :) if I may come with a suggestion though; please ditch the the harmonica jingle, it is distracting beyond words :D All All the best

Thank you for making this video. Have a BEAUTIFULL DAY

I'm making a video about things to know before buying a video camera so this was very helpful thank you!

Thank you so much for this Video!! Really helpful!

You explain so well. Anyone could understood you.

Great video. You are a very good teacher.

Thanks 😊❤️ Love from INDIA.

very well explained in very less time

Quick and to the point... very impressive!

Excellent explanation!

Simple and easy explanation 👌

Good, concise, information. Cheers.

just learned what a sensor is in under 4min, thank you forreal

I think you kind of skipped over the DOF issue relating to sensor size by just saying "Performance". We could have used more examples and more clear explanations. cheers

Love from Tanzania

Thank you for helping me to understand this !!

Great explaining!

I purchased a Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 because their site showed it as having a large 1" sensor. I have subsequently discovered that the information is totally misleading, as the sensor is in fact a lot smaller than 1" diagonal. When I asked Panasonic to explain, I was sent pages of technical jargon showing where and how the 1" sensor was sized and that it is only CALLED that. I now have a good camera, but with a sensor much smaller than I was led to believe.

Excellent summation

Very useful video. Thank you!

Awesome video!

Excellent explanation and visuals

Thanks for this golden video fam

SO HELPFUL! Thank you!

Excellent!- many thanks, great explanation

Subscribed and liked as you have presented a very knowledgeable video. Thank YOU. Stay tuned. Stay safe.

Awesome man..you explained it good..keep it up

thank you! quickly and easily explained!

Good Video. For the first time, I think I understand sensor size. Thanks.

Thank you so much man ! You are a lifesaver !

Well explained. Very clear.

For video conferencing or online meetings, can having a bigger sensor size gives more benefit? Or it's not worth it!

Thank u Sir! I want to buy a camera, could you help me to know, which one have better sensors

Very HELPFUL!

Super usefull video! A load of înformations. I really needed this Thank you

Thanks much, very helpful!

greatly explained!

thanks you 4explained that well. but what pic had the bigger sensor? I'm a bit thick with technology. thanks mate.

well done. very streamlined and informative video.

Great job,I am new to photography and you helped me have a better understanding sensor, Thank You!!!

But BMPCC4K has Micro Four Thirds and it has pretty high dynamic range and low light performance because of the dual ISO

GOOD JOB ,thanks no a understand censor size ,

Hi THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO I HAVE A QUESTION ⁉️ I WANT TO KNOW BIGGEST SENSOR SIZE AND IN ANY MODEL OF CAMERA'S PLEASE TELL ME I WANT TO BUY OK OR CANON R5C

Lel Perth and Curtin ;) love it, great video. Cheers!

Thanks I learned a lot

What a great video! It’s really helpful. Thank you ❤️

thank you.Very Helpful

Wow man! Amazing video

I still dont understand, why videos from old Sony a7S (2014) I like better than from Sony 6400 (and from other aps-c) which to me looks videos more unnaturally and to digitally?

Thank you bro, well understood

loved how it was explained... music in background though

Before digital cameras , there was 35 m m film , 6 by 6 centimetre and 5 by 4 inch camera film which which gave us good , better and best clarity photos .

Great explanation! Thank you

Thank u. Well explained

Good explain brather

nice video; thanks for uploading :-)

thank you ! good information

Nice but I have to add that depth of field (DOF) does not correlate with sensor size. The picture you had on offer is not the same settings. It might be the same Focal length lens and the same aperture, but it is not the same distance from the subject. Physics dictates DOF. The parameters of the DOF in physics are focal length, aperture, and distance to the subject. How big your screen/sensor behind those optical elements are will not change DOF. If you would use all the same settings including distance to the subject it would have the same DOF and same bokkeh. What you did was move further to compensate for the crop factor. It is clear from the angles between the prime subject and background on the photo that your distance to the prime subject has changed, which changed the DOF. The was to properly demonstrate this is to make the same photo at the same distance with the same settings. Then crop the full frame to a smaller sensor. Compare those two pictures and your DOF will be exactly the same. (Even if you don't crop your full frame image the DOF will be exactly the same but it is easier to see) So saying that sensor size affects DOF is wrong. Sensor size affects your image size. Trying to frame the image similarly on a smaller canvas/sensor is what changes your DOF. But doing so also changes the distances and angles between subjects so it really isn't the same image, now is it? TLDR: Sensor size wont change your DOF at the same settings, but changing the distance to the subject to compensate for the crop factor will (It will also change the composition from closer and further away subjects as well as the angles between them)

informative. thanks!

Thanks for the info 😎

What is 1-type High Sensitivity MOS Sensor in Panasonic camera?

Very clear , bro
