BLOG QUESTION ADV: SENSOR SIZE AND CINEMATOGRAPHY

1. How do larger sensors affect the image?

2. How does sensor size affect using lenses?
3. What are the benefits and drawbacks of using a large sensor camera?

Large sensors affect the image by recording a larger image. The sensor size affects the lens sizes. The smaller the sensor, the wider lense it needs. The larger the sensor, the longer lense that's needed. Some benefits of using a large sensor camera include a shallower depth of field, since they require longer focal lengths. Some drawbacks of using a large sensor camera are that it's more prone to noise in low light, it's often bulkier, and it has less dynamic range to capture light and dark levels.
