Why Bigger Sensors See Better in the Dark (The Science Behind Light Sensitivity)

Light sensor sensitivity fundamentally shapes how your camera captures detail in challenging conditions. Understanding your camera sensor sizes and their inherent sensitivity characteristics empowers you to push boundaries in low-light photography and master dynamic range control.
Modern image sensors transform light into precise digital information through millions of photosites, each contributing to your final image’s clarity and detail. When these photosites receive more light, they generate stronger electrical …
