Digital Camera Image Sensor Size Comparison

This let's me take full advantage of the full size image sensor in my Nikon D750.

I've been a professional photojournalist for 40 years, used all the top-of -the-line models from both Nikon (limited to film) and Canon (up to the 1D Mark IV). With few exceptions, such as needing a very long, 300mm or more, at f/2.8, lens, this camera can shoot ANY assignment a photojournalist is handed and do it with an image quality equaling or surpassing a top of the line full size DSLR. It has a learning curve you must master, but so does every high-end digital camera. After 40 years shooting, having a camera of such immense capability, stunning image quality and in size and weight equivalent to large bar of soap, can't be beat. If you're a veteran shooter, remember the size and quality of the Leica rangefinders. This camera is on par with the Leica and easily meets the requirements, and in many instance, surpasses the uses of a D5 or 1Dx. Think: small, unobtrusive, amateur-looking to the common folk and able to produce a stunning, high quality digital file. If you , like me, are at the point where you where to point your camera, and need not sport a huge DSLR with a equally large zoom, buy this camera. You will achieve what you see' by using this highly advanced digital camera.

Did a fine job of cleaning my digital camera's sensor.

What can I say. This is a must have kit for everyone with a slr digital camera. Makes it very easy to clean the sensor.

I examined the pinhole under a laboratory microscope. While not perfectly round, it is as round as some lens irises when stopped down. Any rounder would not improve its resolution. As the size of a pinhole decreases, the image becomes sharper. But, at its optimum size, like a lens, diffraction takes over and any further reduction in size starts to make the image softer. For a pinhole to sensor distance of 50mm, the 0.25mm pinhole diameter provides the sharpest image, about the same as a standard definition TV or a CGA computer monitor. A pinhole is a novelty item. I had fun sending images with the subject line "Look ma, no lens". However, the pinhole is a great tool for sensor cleaning. At f/200, every speck of dust on the sensor is revealed.

I think for me, this camera was worth the upgrade. By comparison, my X-T2 now feels like it's stuck in second gear. The image quality is about the same in terms of resolution, but the color science and processing has changed for the better. I took the camera out on the creek to shoot some waterfowl in flight with my 100-400 and it nailed my moving subjects. Setting the C auto-focus priority using the menu is not as big a deal as some would make it seem. The level customization choices also feels like it's increased about 50%. The extra stiffness of the control dials only took about 30 minutes to adjust to. Now it seems natural (and appreciated). The new S version of the battery is OK, but I am considering getting the optional grip for the extra capacity. Overall, FujiFilm did a very nice job of upgrading precisely the right feature set, and still brought it in a lower initial price. I have other camera systems, but you'll find the X-T3 hanging on my shoulder all the time.

The one thing is no sensor cleaning function built into the camera. Odd considering where things are in 2022 with digital cameras. Otherwise the Z50 is a charming, well featured, good looking APS-c format camera. Combined with their DX 18mm-140mm (27 - 210 equivalent) it is nice walking around camera. I added Nikon's small (discontinued) SB400 TTL shoe mount flash and one high speed manual focussing TTArtisan Z mount lens to my kit to expand its capabilities in bad light.

I use it to clean the sensor of any digital camera with removable lens. The vacuum cleaner device is an excellent way to remove lint and dust from the sensor surface. I find it better than using a brush or swab.

This is a great kit for cleaning you digital camera full frame sensor. There are step by step instructions to follow. Once you've cleaned the sensor one time, it is very to do. Unfortunately, all sensors sooner or later get some dirt on them. This is a safe way to clean your sensor. Very easy to learn to use.

The Q2M produces THE best B&W I've seen from a digital camera. The sensor has terrific resolution. I've owned and used many 28mm lenses over 40 years, including Leica M and R lenses. The 28mm on this Q2M is probably the best 28mm I've ever used on a FF camera- film or digital. Attached image copyrighted.
