The sensor in your camera is the CCD or CMOS chip that captures the light to record the image. It’s the thing in your camera that replaced film! And just like film, they come in different sizes and formats. So today I’m going to take a look at sensor sizes. For those of you who are a bit confused about what a ‘full frame sensor’ is in relation to a ‘crop sensor’ and just what all this means for your photography then check out this video where I’ll explain it all in my usual no nonsense style! I hope you enjoy this tutorial. For more video tips, please LIKE my Facebook page! www.facebook.com
great video, great lesson. cheers buddy.
You could but you would minimize your depth of field.
Didn’t mention the difference between sensors in low light, that would be the key I think with the full sensor.
If I buy the Sony a57, can I use it to shoot with great depth of field quality photo?
How do u think about the camera, I don’t have a dslr before but wanna buy one, do u think it good?
Thanks for the explanation. Very well done. All this begs the question, “why do manufacturers even make ‘cropped’ sensor cameras?” I am guessing the answer is, “because they are more inexpensive than the full sensor cameras but the manufacturers can provide great features for less money.” Would this be a correct assumption?
son of bitch , thats the easiest perfect circle ever done in the world ! 😀
hassleblad with a digi back = a mortgage almost i am guessing amazing cameras though
The difference between Karl and Giotto is that the italian didn’t know what to do with a 5DmkIII. GR8 circle!!!

Karl, your absolute amazing in your videos and i’ve learnt so much from you. Your painting with light videos are some of my favourites. Thanks for sharing all these great videos with us. Wish I had my dslr when I was in British Army and many other great locations. Let me know when you doing a trip to South Africa!!!!
This is a perfect explanation !
Lots of people misunderstand that ‘extra magnification’ on coped sensor cameras and in many foruns I read the complete oposite of what you explained and it just doesn’t made any sense to me.. Thank you very much!
why does that 5DMII look so huge? compared to that 7D? it looks so much bigger..
Well presented. I liked the folding of the printed photo for the crop factor illustration.
Man, that Hassy makes the MK II look like a micro four thirds sized sensor.
extremely informative… clearly explained, thanks for sharing this info …
Excellent information Karl. I have enjoyed reviewing everyone of your instructional videos. Thank you. Colin
You sir have a new subscriber .. great video
