Micro 4 3 Sensor Size Comparison

Micro 4 3 sensor size comparison.

Full frame 35mm which is actually 36mm wide aps c micro four thirds 1 inch 1 1 7 and 1 2 5 type. And secondly if the micro four thirds olympus can produce large prints equal to that of a full frame sensor at half the price is there really any need to spend more than 2 000 on a body. I have a nikon dslr and it blows the low light performance of my micro 4 3 camera out of the water even using similarly slow glass. 220 mm is approximately 30 less than the aps c sensors used in other manufacturers dslrs.

Panasonic cameras such as the lumix gf5 and offerings from olympus including the pen series and the omd em 5 use a micro four thirds 4 3 inch 17 3 x 13 mm sensor. This illustration compares digital camera sensor sizes. In fact as shown on the left the difference is even smaller than the difference between full size and aps c and the micro four thirds sensor is massive compared to popular compact camera sensors. Special thanks to our friends at lensprotogo and datacolor for helping us make this comparison possible.

Now if i were to say get a 1inch with 400mm micro 4 3 with a 300mm or an aps c with a 400 500mm. See how much difference there is in the medium full frame aps c and micro 4 3 sensors. Below compare sensor sizes for digital cameras. Initially i expected that the aps c sensor would perform better but it fell short.

For the comparison they took those 12 shots three per camera and fixed the exposure in post to see how much information each sensor was able to retain in both over and under exposed areas. I wouldn t recommend a micro 4 3 if you are looking for a high quality performing camera. We compare 4 sensor sizes to see how they compare in print image quality. The image sensor of four thirds and mft measures 18 mm 13 5 mm 22 5 mm diagonal with an imaging area of 17 3 mm 13 0 mm 21 6 mm diagonal comparable to the frame size of 110 film.

Considering all of them are.
