The size of sensor that a camera has ultimately determines how much light it uses to create an image. In very simple terms, image sensors (the digital equivalent of the film your father might have used in his camera) consist of millions of light-sensitive spots called photosites which are used to record information about what is seen through the lens. Therefore, it stands to reason that a bigger sensor can gain more information than a smaller one and produce better images.⁠
Think about it this way, if you had a compact camera with a typically small image sensor, its photosites would be dwarfed by those of a DSLR with the same number of megapixels, but a much bigger sensor. Able to gain more information, the large DSLR photosites would be capable of turning out photos with better dynamic range, less noise and improved low light performance than its smaller-sensored sibling. Which as we know, makes for happy photographers.⁠
⁠
👾Two cameras* with the same exposure receive the same light per square mm, and larger sensors have more square mm.⁠
👾Every object in your scene will be projected onto more square mm of the larger sensor if those two hypothetical cameras have the same field of view.⁠
👾This means every object is described with more photons of light, which gives the potential for a cleaner image.⁠
👾Differences in sensor performance mean one camera may over- or under-perform expectations but these differences are usually smaller than the differences made by changing formats.⁠
