For example, Canon, Nikon, and Sony use APS-C sensors for cropped frame cameras. But Canon's APS-C sensor is marginally smaller than what Nikon and Sony use — 22.3x14.9 mm vs. 23.6x15.6 mm.

Since an APS-C sensor is about 1.3 times smaller than a full frame sensor, for example, your field of view is cropped in by a factor of 1.3 and any lens you attach is going to take on that crop.

The zoom you get when using a smaller sensor is called the crop factor, calculated as the diagonal measure of the full-frame sensor divided by the diagonal of the APS-C sensor. For Canon cameras ...

In theory, superior image quality. A full-frame sensor equals pro image quality, ... For example, APS-C has a crop factor of 1.5x (or 1.6x for Canon cameras), Micro Four Thirds is 2x, ...

Do you really need an expensive full-frame camera? I spent a year with a cheap, secondhand crop sensor alternative to find ...

And while a full frame sensor offers better quality, the detail of the image is still dictated by the lens — and you can usually put a full-frame lens on a crop-frame body and still get great ...

Cropped sensors result in a smaller field of view, meaning you can fit less of a scene into a frame compared to a camera with a full-frame sensor. Put simply, you need to be further away, use ...
