why 2/3 inch chips are'nt that big
Have the use of a DXC-D35P for a week and looking in the manual (page 98) its says
"imaging area 8.8 x 6.6 mm (2/3 inch)" now 2/3 inch is approx 17mm in the real world so how does all this tie up? I read somewhere that Super 16 was about 35 % bigger than 2/3 chip which is obviously correct so where does the 2/3 inch figure apply ? it seems a LOT smaller than I was led to believe |
I think they measure it diagonally (like computer monitors). It still doesn't add up... maybe they take into account all three CCDs??? (but that doesn't add up either...)
"imaging area 8.8 x 6.6 mm (2/3 inch)" gives 11mm diagonal. 6.6mmX3 = 19.8mm |
