RE: APS Sensor Size
It think its C= classic = 1.5:1 aspect, H=HDTV = 16:9 = 1.78:1 aspect. Don't know the dimensions or if these designations only refer to aspect ratios.

Re: APS Sensor Size
APS C is aps Classic, more or less the same ratio as 35mm film (35mm ~ 24x36mm, APS-C ~ 16x24)). APS-H is the HDTV format on APS thats ~ 16x30, the other APS format is panoramic which is 10x30mm. As far as I now there aren't any Digital cameras that have a Panoramic sensor. I doubt that there are any that have an APS-H sized sensor. BTW all of these are only approximated by digital manufactures, the ratios of the sensors are not quite the same as APS or 35mm and the sensor size is a bit smaller than APS-C as well, (though not much smaller), Pentax for example is actually 23.5x15.7.

RE: APS Sensor Size
I bet as HDTV becomes the norm the standard TV screen is 16:9, there will be WAY MORE H format digicams because digital photos look pretty nice on a HDTV ( My 34 SONY HDTV does digital photo display and slide shows via a memory stick slot).

Re: APS Sensor Size
Shel Belinkoff mused: I have seen APS sensors described as APS C and APS H What'd the difference. Are there other APS sensor size designations? The true meaning of these designations is only appropriate when used to refer to the differing aspect ratios on APS cameras. In the DSLR world, APS C is used to refer to those cameras with a 1.5 or 1.6 crop factor, while APS H is used as shorthand for the lower-magnification, but still not full frame cameras, such as the Canon EOS-1D (not the 1Ds). While the terminology isn't precise, it's a reasonable way to indicate how large an image circle is required to avoid vignetting.

That would be cool to get an Xpan Hasselblad with a panoramic APS sensor. Jim A. From: Peter J.

Re: APS Sensor Size
I have seen APS sensors described as APS C and APS H What's the difference. Are there other APS sensor size designations? Here's the whole scoop regards APS film formats vs the similar sized DSLR sensor formats. format: proportion - dimensions - diagonal - --- --- APS-C: 2:3 - 16.7x25.1mm - 30.12mm APS-H: 9:16 - 16.7x30.2mm - 34.5mm APS-P: 1:3 - 9.5x30.2mm - 31.65mm FourThirds: 3:4 - 13.5x18mm - 22.5mm Canon APS-C: 2:3 - 15x22.5mm - 27.04mm Nikon/Pentax/Minolta APS-C: 2:3 - 15.7x23.5mm - 28.3mm APS-C film format is close but not the same as the APS-C sensor formats.

It's always been _print_ formats and the different shapes and sizes all come from crops of the original negative that were encoded electronically on the negative strip by the camera at taking - if it had the capability. mike
