APSCkennokamerassa

APSCkennokamerassa is a Finnish term that translates to "APSC in the camera" or "APSC sensor in the camera." It refers to a specific type of digital camera sensor size. The APS-C format is a common sensor size found in many digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) and mirrorless cameras. It is larger than a point-and-shoot camera's sensor but smaller than a full-frame sensor.

The APS-C sensor size originated from Advanced Photo System (APS) film formats. Its name is derived from the original film type, "Advanced Photo System," with the "C" standing for "Classic." In digital photography, APS-C sensors are designed to mimic the field of view of a particular film frame size.

Cameras equipped with APS-C sensors often offer a balance between image quality, size, and cost. They are typically more compact and affordable than full-frame cameras, while still providing superior image quality compared to cameras with smaller sensors. A key characteristic of APS-C sensors is their crop factor. This means that a lens mounted on an APS-C camera will have a narrower field of view compared to when it is mounted on a full-frame camera. The crop factor typically ranges from 1.5x to 1.6x, depending on the camera manufacturer. This effect essentially magnifies the focal length of the lens. For example, a 50mm lens on an APS-C camera with a 1.5x crop factor will provide a field of view equivalent to a 75mm lens on a full-frame camera.
