As you can see in the photo above (and depending on what model you get): Canon uses a slightly smaller sensor size for their APS-C bodies than Nikon and Sony. Cropped sensors (APS-C) are a lot smaller than full frame sensors. This is considered the “standard sensor size” in the industry. When you have a full frame sensor, it mimics the frame size of the old 35mm film. Yellow Border – Nikon and Sony Crop Sensor (1.5) ![]() Red and Green Border – Canon Crop (1.3, 1.6) Most, professional or high-end camera bodies are full-frame. Many entry-level DSLR cameras are crop-sensor cameras. The other big effect of the sensor size is how much of the scene that can actually be viewed and photographed when you are looking through the lens. Sensor size can affect the quality of your photos because a larger sensor can record more information (giving you a better image from the start). A smaller sensor can feel limiting to a photographer in some cases, especially when you’re dealing with low light situations. Remember that when you have a higher ISO, it will introduce more noise and grain into your image. When you increase the ISO setting on your camera, it makes the sensor more sensitive to light it receives. Your camera’s sensor is literally how sensitive your camera is to light and the device that records information when a photo is taken. Full Frame vs Crop Sensor What is a Sensor? Today we are going to take a look at why some people choose full frame vs crop sensor cameras and what differentiates these two. ![]() To the untrained eye, it might seem like the only difference between cameras is the price tag (and let’s face it, some of those price tags are UP THERE!).
