  [1] |  | APS-C Sensor  An APS-C sensor is a type of digital image sensor commonly used in many digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) and mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. Named for the "Advanced Photo System" format from which it originated, an APS-C sensor is smaller than a full-frame sensor but larger than a Micro Four Thirds sensor, with dimensions typically around 22.2 × 14.8 mm. 
 APS-C sensors offer a balance between compact size and image quality, providing photographers with excellent image resolution, dynamic range, and low-light performance while allowing camera manufacturers to produce smaller and lighter camera bodies. With their crop factor, APS-C sensors effectively increase the effective focal length of lenses compared to full-frame sensors, making them popular among photographers seeking additional reach for telephoto and zoom photography. APS-C sensor cameras are widely used by enthusiasts, professionals, and hobbyists alike for a wide range of photographic applications, from portraits and landscapes to sports and wildlife photography.
