Camera Sensor Size

1. How do larger sensors effect the image?
2. How does sensor size effect using lenses?
3. What are the benefits and drawbacks of using a large sensor camera?

Large sensors have better capabilities with low light situations and in creating a shallow depth of field. However, they are usually expensive and the lens size can become a burden. The expenses of these cameras are troublesome because many tend to think that a larger sensor is always better. However, in reality, they simply have different looks to them and it cannot be determined which is better than the other. On the other hand, smaller sensors tends to create a deeper depth of field an are compatible with smaller lenses. However, these smaller sensors show less capabilities when it comes to low light performance. Each sensor size will inevitably create a unique look to them.
