Hi All,
For this month in January, I am going to go over the issue many photographers face when buying a camera - Should I buy a DX or FX format camera (Nikon) or Full frame or APC sized Canon.
Why is this format stuff important?
Generally, most entry-level and mid-price DSLRs use an APS-C sized sensor, which has it's image sensor dimensions measuring 23.6 x 15.7mm (22.2 x 14.8mm on Canon DSLRs).
Back in the film days, the rectangle that captured the image on a standard SLR (the film) was one size: 24mm x 36mm
