3 4 frame camera.

The name of the system stems from the size of the image sensor used in the cameras which is commonly referred to as a 4 3 type or 4 3 type sensor.
Full frame cameras are suitable for a wide range of photographers and budgets here s a list of the best full frame cameras for 2020.
Thus a micro four thirds camera gives us less shallow depth of field at similar focal lengths when compared with a full frame camera.
Since digital sensors became the standard in photography a plethora of formats were developed and nowadays there are many different sensors to choose from.
The image sensor of four thirds and mft measures 18 mm 13 5 mm 22 5 mm diagonal with an imaging area of 17 3 mm 13 0 mm 21 6 mm diagonal comparable to the frame size of 110 film.
The main point of the micro 4 3 camera is to offer the photographer a smaller lighter camera body that has the features of a dslr camera.
With a micro 4 3 camera you lose exactly 2 stops of shallow depth of field versus a full frame camera and one stop versus in a psc sensor size camera.
The common inch based sizing system is derived from vacuum image sensing video camera tubes which are now obsolete the imaging area of a four thirds sensor is equal to that of a video camera tube of 4 3 inch diameter.
In other words shooting an f2 8 lens on a micro 4 3 camera is going to give you f 5 6 depth of field.
220 mm is approximately 30 less than the aps c sensors used in other manufacturers dslrs.
It is around 9 times larger than the 1 2 3 sensors typically used in compact digital cameras.
Best full frame camera overall.
For example an image shot at f 1 8 on a micro four thirds camera would give an output similar to an image shot at f 3 6 on a full frame camera and f 2 7 on a crop sensor camera.
