But in a camera specification site it say Sony a7 is Full frame camera and its sensor is 35mm.
this video helped A LOT!!
APS-H?
It is not just the size. The dynamic range, low light performance and colour science also need to be taken into consideration. And I truely believe the progress that has been made in recent years is due to the sensor improvements in smart phones as instagram became popular.
I remember being blown away by the image quality from my Canon G1X bridge camera compared to an older Nikon D90 I had the opportunity to use at an event. I just couldn’t get the image to look good in camera in the D90 and switch back to the G1X.
Uh, sensor size does NOT determine how much light is gathered on the sensor. That's what the f/stop of the lens does, either a fast maximum aperture, or a slow one.

I wanna take my skills to another level, so hey Jared what can I do?!
You and your channel is awesome
Considering the technological advances to the APS-C sensors recently, you can really boost up the ISO without much noise. And there's little difference in image quality between APS-C and full frame sensors unless you're making huge prints. My APSC camera of choice is the Sony a6500, which I love. After shooting Jpegs for years, I just began shooting in raw, and honestly, it makes a difference and the time it takes in Lightroom to post process wasn't as long as I thought it would be.
In good lightning is there a big difference in image quality between 1 inch and m43. I know in low light larger sensor is better
Thanks , mate
Nikon D500 + Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 + Sigma 50-100 f1.8 or Nikon D750+ Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 +Tamron 70-200mm f2.8

Hey Jared great vid, question tho. I'm looking to make video segments like they do on ESPN first take, or Fox Sports news. Would you recommend the dlsr or s camcorder on a budget ? Thanks for the vids
Is aps-H sensor a thing?
Hi! I just want to ask, What is better, Canon G5x or Canon M5?
You forgot medium format.
Thanks J. very informative as asual.
Great video for us beginners out there! Are you thinking of making one about lenses as well? Cheers
as always, very informative
1000 dollar point and shoot camera??
No Medium format! The Mamiya Leaf 645D produces the most detailed files but wait 'full frame' because of it's name is the biggest you can go. BULLSHIT.
