There are no "regular" cameras anymore 
For digital, here are some terms that relate to the size of the sensor:
full frame
APS-C
Micro 4/3
and more:

Do you mean "large format" or "full frame"?

I doubt that it really makes a difference, but if the camera gives me a choice, I would do full format. Basically, formatting wipes the card and prepares it to accept more pictures. Most cameras seem to just call it "Format."

There are regular cameras, and then there are irregular cameras.
I prefer the former.

"Full Frame" is only meaningful for the camera body in use. Even changing the lens (ie Nikon FX vs DX) can alter the amount of the image that reaches the "Full Frame" of the sensor/film. It's the dimensions of that "Full Frame" that need to be identified. Both my F4 and RB-67 are "Full Frame" but the F4 is a 35mm x 24mm while the RB-67 is 6cm x 7cm (60mm x 70mm). As Linda pointed out, there are ASP-2, Micro 4/3 and many other film/sensor sizes. They are all "Full Frame" for the camera body they are installed in.

Today "full format' is equal to a 35mm film camera. Canon non full format SLR is a smaller size so a 100mm lens is a 160 mm lens and in the Nikon the 100mm is a 150mm lens. More pixels in a full frame. The + and - is the non full frame can give you an advantage if you use a telephoto. If you just starting and plan to use a non full frame you might not want to buy lenses that do not work in a full frame as a full frame lens works in both and a non full frame lens does not work in a full frame, you will rebuying lenses.

I don't think there is the "Full Format". The FF stands for "Full Frame" and that refers to cameras with sensor approximately 24mm x 36mm size.

I never heard of "full format" either.

Nope.
The focal length does NOT change.
Only the field of view.
With a 100 mm lens on Canon APS-C body, you get the equivalent field of view of a 160 on a full frame body, but the focal length doesn’t change.
Despite their frequent misuse here, words matter and there is a difference between “is” and “equivalent “
