In this episode - Why Is Camera Sensor Size Important?

Here is my answer

The size of the camera sensor size defines the type of camera, the most popular ones being full frame, APS-C or micro four third cameras. The size of the camera sensor is a significant factor in the quality of images captured, with larger camera sensors generally recording more data and providing higher quality images. The size of the camera sensor is related to the cost of the camera – generally the larger the sensor the more expensive the camera.
