53. What Is A Cropped Sensor Camera Explained In Less Than 10 Minutes

Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 53 of the Photography Explained podcast.

In this episode - What Is A Cropped Sensor Camera Explained In Less Than 10 Minutes

Here is my answer

A cropped sensor camera has a smaller sensor than a full frame camera. Cropped sensor cameras are generally cheaper and smaller than full frame cameras. Cropped sensor cameras have a crop factor applied to the focal length of any lens, meaning that 50mm on a full frame camera is effectively circa 80mm on a cropped sensor camera. Cropped sensor cameras have a greater depth of field than full frame cameras.
