APS-C is a mid-size camera sensor format of roughly 23 x 15 mm with a crop factor of about 1.5 to 1.6 compared with full frame…
A BSI sensor is a backside-illuminated CMOS image sensor whose wiring sits behind the photodiodes, so more light reaches each pixel in camera photography.
A CCD is an image sensor that moves collected charge across the chip to a single output amplifier, valued in photography for uniform, low-noise images.
CMOS is the image sensor technology in most digital cameras, converting light to charge and reading it out through transistors and converters within each chip.
Full frame is a 36 x 24 mm camera sensor format matching 35 mm film, the reference size for crop factor, lens field of view and…
Micro Four Thirds is a mirrorless camera system standard built around a 17.3 x 13 mm sensor, a short flange distance and a shared lens mount.
Pixel pitch is the center-to-center distance between neighboring photosites on an image sensor, stated in micrometers, and it shapes resolution and noise.
A stacked sensor is a CMOS image sensor built from bonded layers that separate pixels from processing circuits, enabling very fast readout in cameras.
