Micro four third

I've been craving for a new camera, and it's a micro four third camera. So what is this actually? and why it is different from my current DSLR?


Micro four third.

So, the question is, what is it really? To simply explain, its a the size of the sensor. In which are explained by the image below. The sensor is obviously a little smaller than the current DSLR which mainly used APS-C sized sensor and compared to full frame bodies(35mm) a lot smaller.


Right. So the sensor is small. Thus, i have to sacrifice some pixel, depth of field and also light sensitivity. Because the sensor is small, there are quite drawback of using this system rather than the normal APS-C/ common DSLR type sensor.

But lately, i found myself to be more of a people photography, in which i enjoy a smaller, lighter, easier to use system and yes, micro four third gave me all. and because of that i want to buy a new camera with micro four third sensor in it.

Sexy ain't it?
