Sensor size

Sensor size refers to the physical dimensions of the image sensor in a camera, which captures light to create photographs. Larger sensors can collect more light, resulting in better image quality, especially in low light situations, and can also provide a shallower depth of field for artistic effects. Common sensor sizes include full-frame, APS-C, and micro four-thirds. While a bigger sensor generally offers better performance, it often comes with a larger, heavier camera and lens selection. Ultimately, the choice of sensor size affects image quality, camera design, and the types of photography you can pursue.
