9 Reasons Why Camera Sensor Size Matters? And What This Really Means To Us! Hi and welcome to Episode 123 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will try to explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google. No offense Google.

Before I go on I need your help. I need your questions to answer. More on this at the end.

Here is the answery bit.
The size of a camera sensor determines

 The actual focal lengths that you get from a lens The resolution of images captured The sizes of image files The amount of depth of field The standard of low light performance The dynamic range that can be captured The amount of noise that might be found in a photo The size and weight of the camera and lenses The cost of the camera and lenses

So yes, it is fair to say that the size of a camera sensor matters.
