Sensor Size
The size of a camera's sensor plays a crucial role in image quality and performance. Larger sensors, like APS-C or Full-frame, generally produce higher image quality with better low-light performance and more control over the depth of field, allowing for the professional blurred background effect. Smaller sensors, such as a 1-inch sensor, offer the advantages of more compact camera bodies and lenses, greater reach due to crop factors, and often faster shooting speeds, making them ideal for travels where portability and versatility are key.
