Better color accuracy and image quality in general.Better for lage prints, requires less magnification. Better low light performance, less noise in high-ISO.Lower focal length multiplier (1x on 35mm, 2x on M43), less magnified angle of view – great for wide angle shots.Ability to get much more shallow Depth of Field – great for portraits.Sharper images due to the fac that most lenses are sharper in the center (more evident in 35mm lenses used on smaller size sensors).Higher focal length multiplier (2.7x in the case of the CX), also means longer zoom but in more compact lenses (see sectino 2) – magnified angle of view.FOV and f-stop, Good for Macro and Landscape shots Deeper Depth of Field (DOF) for the same equiv.Can lower sensor manufacture price (depends on the technology used).Create cheaper, smaller and lighter lenses due to the smaller projected imaeg circle.Ability to manufacture relatively cheaper, smaller and lighter cameras.Let’s go over the advantages of each one. There are cons and pros for both large and small sensors. Yu can see that the CX-type sensor used in the Nikon 1 J1 and V1 cameras is much smaller than the M43 one, but four times larger than the 1/2.3-inch one. The above image illustrated the differences between sensor sizes. Nikon CX = 1-inch (Nikon 1 Mirrorless cameras) Many of us know that their is a direct implication on image quality, especially with the amount of noise in high-ISO sensitivity level.īefore I continue the discussion about what are the implications of using the CX sensor vs larger camera sensors, let’s see a sensor size comparison paradigm that illustrates the difference in sensor sizes, including APS-C, Micro Four Thirds, CX (the one used with Nikon 1 mirrorless cameras, 1/1.7-inch and 1/2.3-inch): APS-C, Micro Four Thirds, CX, 1/1.7-inch and 1/2.3-inch sensor size comparison Some people (including me) were surprised to see that Nikon has chosen to use a sensor that is smaller than the Micro 4/3. In this article I want to put my mind on the decision of Nikon to use a CX-format sensor, which its size is smaller than the APS-C and even the Micro Four Thirds one.
