Camera sensor

A camera sensor is a vital component in digital cameras that captures light to create images. When you take a photo, the sensor converts incoming light into electrical signals, which are then processed to form a digital image. Sensors vary in size and type, affecting image quality, detail, and low-light performance. Larger sensors generally capture more light, resulting in better images, especially in challenging conditions. There are two main types of sensors: CCD and CMOS, each with distinct advantages. Understanding the sensor can help you appreciate the quality and capabilities of a camera.
