Why Sensor Size Matters- Comparing Crop Sensor to Full Frame to Medium Format Cameras

Ever wonder if sensor size matters? If so, how? Depth of Field, Color, Bokeh, and Low Light Performance are all impacted by sensor size. Check out the video below to find out what you need to know!

In this review shot in the beautiful landscape of Alaska, Jason Lanier compares the Sony A6500 (Crop Sensor), Sony A7C (Full Frame) and the Fujifilm GFX 50R (Medium Format). He shoots the cameras using the same Full Frame equivalent of 50mm.

Sensor size plays a bigger role than many photographers may know. Sensor size affects depth of field (blur and separation), bokeh (how large), colors and the low light performance of a camera.
