I have well over 30 years of experience in photography so I do know what I am talking about!In this episode - What Is A Cropped Sensor Camera Explained In Less Than 10 MinutesHere is my answerA cropped sensor camera has a smaller sensor than a full frame camera. Cropped sensor cameras are generally cheaper and smaller than full frame cameras. Cropped sensor cameras have a crop factor applied to the focal length of any lens, meaning that 50mm on a full frame camera is effectively circa 80mm on a cropped sensor camera. Cropped sensor cameras have a greater depth of field than full frame cameras.Listen for more, or check out the transcript and even the blog post - so many ways to find out more!What’s next?Episode 54 - Explained In Less Than 10 Minutes - What Is A Medium Format Camera? My brand new course Photography for Beginners: Sunrise in Mexico, will teach you exactly how to get out at sunrise and come back with photos you love  all told in plain English. it includes real footage of me photographing an actual sunrise in Mexico with an entry level camera.
