![]() (I have listed below some examples of camera listings on for you to see how they are listed and what’s mentioned in the sales copy to know what’s what.) Nikon also calls their cropped sensor a DX format. All the main players like Canon, Nikon and Sony use a APS-C sensor. If you know your model of cameras by the brand your interested in, but the best way is knowing your codes for cropped sensors by brand. There a several ways to know if a camera has a smaller sensor “Cropped Sensor”. Crop factor ie for Canon 1.6 multiplied by the focal length (16mm) = 25.6m. Below is a table on how these crop factors will effect / extend the focal length on full frame 35mm lenses. Though Nikon will refer to theirs as a DX format, so keep that in mine. All three companies refer to their cropped sensor as an APS-C sensor. Sony and Nikon have the same sized cropped sensor (1.5) and Canon as a sensor slightly larger (1.6). ![]() The cropping amount is subject to the camera you have purchased. The good thing is they would perfectly on a cropped sensor camera you just don’t have the focal length that is stated on the lens. Now if you buy a lens that has the cropped sensor factor built into it, then this isn’t a problem, the cropping is only an issue if you are buying lenses made for 35mm “Full Frame” sensor cameras. Then you have the cameras where the sensor size is smaller than the 35mm frame, now the smaller sized sensor is what they are referring to as the camera that has the crop factor and the cropping they are referring to is when you put a 35mm camera lens on a camera that has a smaller sensor and the image that is lost because of this is “cropped” hence the term Cropped Sensor. You have the Full framed camera where the sensor on the camera is the same size as a 35mm film frame of 36 x 24mm.
