sheikhrafiq79 Posted February 25, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 25, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) hi all, i wanna know, the sensor size of both camera sensors is only 6x9 mm diff., is that a big difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Hi sheikhrafiq79, Take a look here S2 vs M 240. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
01af Posted February 25, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 25, 2013 It's not big but significant. The S's higher pixel count helps, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertnl Posted February 26, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 26, 2013 The difference is not 6x9 but 6x36 + 9x30; Or 6x45 + 9x24; equals 486 square millimeters. Which means the surface of the S's sensor is 56.25% larger than the M's; or the M's is 36% smaller than the S's. That's quite a difference in my view.

wattsy Posted February 26, 2013 Share #4 Posted February 26, 2013 Which means the surface of the S's sensor is 56.25% larger than the M's; or the M's is 36% smaller than the S's. That's quite a difference in my view. The extra size (and other factors including the very well corrected S lenses) clearly does make a difference but to put that 56% in perspective, the jump in size from M8 to M9 was 78% (and I tend to view both those cameras as being in the same ballpark when it comes to image 'quality'). Of course, with film the difference in size between 35mm and 120 film is far more marked – 6x7 having about 4½ times the surface area of a 35mm neg.

norbertnl Posted February 26, 2013 Share #5 Posted February 26, 2013 the jump in size from M8 to M9 was 78% You're right, put in this perspective the difference between the M and the S2 is a small step. In comparison, my much anticipated ~140% pixel count jump from M8 to M feels like a giant leap . O.k. ... the increase of sensor surface remains at 78% ...

JeTexas Posted February 26, 2013 Share #6 Posted February 26, 2013 So will we see an S to M adapter since the new M has live view? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
