When put together, the term "DSLR" itself is enough to explain the science behind how these cameras work. A digital sensor allows for instant image previews and better quality in low-lit environments.

Image sensors are built into every smartphone and every digital camera. They distinguish colors in a similar way to the human eye. In our retinas, individual cone cells recognize red, green and ...

Canon's new SPAD sensors work by amplifying a single photon that enters the sensor's pixels into large amounts of electrical energy pulses. This allows the camera to see objects in areas with ...

The A-series cameras marry Phase One's digital sensors with Alpa's lenses. It's a new-era approach to an old-school photography technique.

You can easily add new sensors to an existing SimpliSafe system. In fact, the process can be done using a phone or the SimpliSafe Keypad. Here's how it works.

But vintage cameras are making an inexplicable comeback among young people. Old digital cameras are a TikTok craze, and those participating in it are gravitating toward CCD sensors in particular.
