It means that the sensor is the same dimensions as 35mm film. Medium format is larger. The rest are smaller as in crop sensor, micro 4/3's, 1 inch, and so on.

'The rest are smaller?' Are a 4x5 or 8x10 smaller than medium format?

Thanks for that. Now I don't feel so incompetent.

Thanks. I we'll use this with and for extended study. It's not making much sense to me at the moment. I don't see the differences or what dose it matter? If the camera takes tack sharp images, why would the cropped CPC make any differences?
Anyway, most important thing is that you and others are awesome people to answer these questions. From my heart to yours. Thanks.

There are several differences, such as performance in low light. But a great many of us hobbyists have found all the joy we want in our less-expensive, smaller and lighter weight gear.Jan 8, 2019 06:51:26 #
4x5 and 8x10 are only two or many formats that are considered large format. I regularly use a 4x5 and a friend of mine shoots almost exclusively with an 8x10.

These days, the “standard” is Full Frame and for a good reason.
The differences that you can see are:
1 - less noise in low light photography
2 - shallower depth of field, better background blurr.
3 - better results if you print very large.

More expansive
Heavier bodies and lenses

Full frame is a term that someone introduced to digital photography and ever since it is used often. It actually refers to a file the size of a 35mm negative film. If full frame means covering the whole sensor with the image then an APS camera fitted with a DX lens (Nikon denomination) is also a full frame. The Olympus and Panasonic cameras that use the micro 4/3 sensor when using the 4:3 ratio use the full sensor of the camera also.
The differences that you can see are:
1 - less noise in low light photography. Modern cropped sensors do as well as the full frame.
2 - shallower depth of field, better background blurr. Not true. Same effects can be done using a cropped camera.
3 - better results if you print very large. Not true. My 20x30 inch enlargements from my cropped sensor camera with a good optic are superb.

That video from Dead Pixel was hilarious....and put us to shame over all the camera hype we see & read every day on this forum. The bottom line ,basically, It's the Fool Behind the Tool and not much else.
Thanks for the Link.
