Full-frame goes mainstream: your next camera's must-have feature | The Verge

Full-frame sensors are one of the key indicators of image quality. In simple terms, larger sensors mean better pictures, and full-frame is as big as it gets for a consumer-level device. Full-frame is so called because it matches the "full frame" of 35mm film, meaning you can see and capture the entire picture instead of dealing with crop factors. Full-frame sensors offer huge improvements in depth of field and low-light performance, and allow you to shoot wider angles.
