Crop sensor

A ‘crop’ sensor is one that’s smaller than a full frame sensor. This means that it captures a smaller area and a narrower angle of view with the same focal length lens. In effect, smaller sensors make lenses look as if they have a ‘longer’ focal length, and by a specific factor – or ‘crop factor’.
