More #photography nerditry:
My main camera system is what's called "medium format'; the sensor is 40x54mm, which corresponds to the "645" format that used 120-type roll film. This is about 2.5 times the area of the standard "full frame" 24x36mm used in 35mm cameras, but only about 1/5th the area of "large format" 4x5 sheet film.
What's the significance of sensor size? Several things...
