How is the information I share different from the "size and capture" theory?

Post by Siegfried »

Folks, this will be my final post on this forum.

The basic answer is, "sensor size" promoters and fanboys claim bigger sensors capture more light (size and capture theory) and, therefore, have more dynamic range, better image quality, and less noise... The list of benefits goes on and on and on...

I agree that sensor size determines the optical characteristics of the camera. Things like Field of View, background blur, and Bokeh.

The technical characteristics of each sensor are unique to the design of the sensor. These include dynamic range, image noise, sensor saturation, SNR, and many more... (All image sensors have technical limitations)

Why is this critical? Because it changes the way we plan, prep our cameras, capture an image, and edit our raw files...

You are welcome to read more about this subject on my blog.

Best, and keep up the good work Rob!
