Image Sensor
what is a good image sensor size and ISO ratio for a camera?
what is a good image sensor size and ISO ratio or size for a camera? I know the more the better but I want to know an amount that looks good without being outrageously expensive. Is a 1/2.3 image sensor very big? Is there an ideal size or amount in your opinion?
The ideal image sensor size is “full frame” or 1:1, which is the equivilent to 35mm film. (unless, of course you’re moving to medium or large format, but that’s not in the “consumer” world)
Unfortunately, even in the consumer world, you’ll need something like a canon 5dm2 for about $2200 to get to a full frame sensor. Most DSLR’s will have a sensor size of about 1.6:1, which is perfectly acceptable for most any situation. Canon’s DSLR line, starts with the EOS Rebel XS, which is Under $500.
If that’s still too much money, now you’re down to the world of Point & Shoot cameras, which will have sensors in the range that you’re talking about.
They’re still very capable of taking pictures, but as you said…Bigger is better.
As for ISO, most cameras will be able to shoot iso100 through iso1600
some cameras will have extended iso to 3200 or even 6400 or beyond, but 1600 is all that’s practically necessary. Beyond 1600, the noise or Grain in your pictures begins to get extensive.
