Omni's crop factor calculator will let you know what your camera and lens combination looks like in terms of a 35mm full-frame sensor size camera. It calculates both the 35mm equivalent focal length and aperture f-stop value (or f-number). This allows you to see how your image magnification and depth of field compares to a standard 35mm camera. 1/2.3″ This is the standard image sensor size in GoPro cameras. 1/1.9″ New image size in Hero11 Black and Black Mini. 1/1.7″. 2/3″. CX (Nikon) APS-C. 35 mm (Full frame) This is the standard sensor size that all others are compared against. The crop factor (see above) is used to compare other sensors against this size. Full frame is great, but to get a camera that is fast enough to shoot lots of frames per second you would need to spend around $6500 on a Nikon D5 or similar. If you don’t have that kind of money, $2000 USD will get you the Nikon D500 which will do many of the things that the others can, but you also get the cropped sensor. While the full frame sensors are equivalent to the size of a 35 mm (36 x 24 mm) film frame, the crop sensor, also widely known as APS (Advanced Photo-system Type) sensors approximately equal the size of the classic, age old negatives, i.e 25.1 x 16.7mm. Let’s take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of cameras. MFT vs full-frame: the crop factor. The Micro Four Thirds format is based on a sensor size measuring 17.3x13mm, while the full-frame format is nominally 36x24mm. The diagonal of MFT measures 21.6mm against 43.2mm for full-frame, so almost precisely double, which gives us the 2x crop factor that’s always mentioned in format comparisons. Full frame sensor size for Canon: 36mm x 24mm. Diagonal length of Canon full frame: 43.2mm. Crop factor = 43.2mm/26.8mm = 1.61 ≈ 1.6. Graphic showing the size difference between a crop sensor and full frame sensor. If you want to play around with the numbers yourself then try out my -> crop factor calculator. Here is the equivalence recipe: Apply the crop factor to the focal length. Example = 2x if you are going from full-frame to M43. So that means 50mm on FF is 25mm on M43. Apply the crop factor to It is with these on crop sensors, we get a field of view similar to the 50mm. 30mm conditionally turns into 45mm (or 48mm on Canon) 30mm x 1.5 = 45mm. 30mm x 1.6 = 48mm. 35mm conditionally turns into 53mm (or 56mm on Canon) 35mm x 1.5 = 53mm. 35mm x 1.6 = 56mm.
