What is a format camera?
What is a format camera? While a full-frame camera uses a 35mm film or mimics it with a 36x24mm sensor, a medium format camera has a sensor larger than 36mm and smaller than 100x130mm (the large format sensor size). The difference in sensor size dictates differences in image quality, weight, and price.
