God I hate the terms “full frame” and “crop sensor”.
Ansel Adams would call every digital camera ever made a “crop sensor”.
These sensor sizes have names. Just use them.
35mm provides actual information. “Full frame” does not. APS-C provides information. “Crop sensor” does not.
“Crop factor” is especially galling. Is it really easier to do math from an arbitrary base than to just tell me what the stats are?
