Camera Sensors in Forensic Photography – Does Bigger Means Better?
Gabriel – Irimia Anghel · RePEc: Research Papers in Economics · 2022
ABSTRACT: If we talk about digital photography, we have to replace photographic films with camera sensors, the piece of hardware inside the camera that captures light and converts it into signals, helping us get the final product - the image. Like the first ones mentioned, digital camera sensors are devided, depending on their size, into a few categories, including, in ascending order, Micro Four Thirds sensors, APS-C sensors, full-frame sensors, and medium format sensors. Through this paper, I set out to briefly present the advantages and disadvantages of using these types of sensors in forensic photography and to provide a pertinent answer to the question: "Does bigger means better?".
