Micro 4 3 Sensor Size Comparison

Considering all of them are.

Micro 4 3 sensor size comparison.

220 mm is approximately 30 less than the aps c sensors used in other manufacturers dslrs. This illustration compares digital camera sensor sizes. Initially i expected that the aps c sensor would perform better but it fell short. I wouldn t recommend a micro 4 3 if you are looking for a high quality performing camera.

Below compare sensor sizes for digital cameras. It is around 9 times larger than the 1 2 3 sensors typically used in compact digital cameras. Zeus if you have had the benefit of a full frame sensor it s doubtful you will be happy with low light performance below the aps c sensor size. 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 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. 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. There is a common misconception that there is a big difference between the sizes of aps c and micro four thirds sensors. 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.

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. Full frame 35mm which is actually 36mm wide aps c micro four thirds 1 inch 1 1 7 and 1 2 5 type. 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.
