Sensor size comparison
Sensor size is generally a good indicator of the quality of the camera. Sensors can vary greatly in size. As a general rule, the bigger the sensor, the better the image quality.

Bigger sensors are more effective because they have more surface area to capture light. An important factor when comparing digital cameras is also camera generation. Generally, newer sensors will outperform the older.

Diagonal

Diagonal is calculated by the use of Pythagorean theorem:
Diagonal = √  w² + h²
where w = sensor width and h = sensor height

Praktica Dpix 750z diagonal

The diagonal of Dpix 750z sensor is not 1/2.5 or 0.4" (10.2 mm) as you might expect, but approximately two thirds of that value - 7.19 mm. If you want to know why, see sensor sizes.

w = 5.75 mm
h = 4.32 mm
Diagonal = √  5.75² + 4.32²   = 7.19 mm

Praktica Dpix 1000z diagonal

The diagonal of Dpix 1000z sensor is not 1/2.3 or 0.43" (11 mm) as you might expect, but approximately two thirds of that value - 7.7 mm. If you want to know why, see sensor sizes.

w = 6.16 mm
h = 4.62 mm
Diagonal = √  6.16² + 4.62²   = 7.70 mm


Surface area

Surface area is calculated by multiplying the width and the height of a sensor.

Dpix 750z sensor area

Width = 5.75 mm
Height = 4.32 mm

Surface area = 5.75 × 4.32 = 24.84 mm²

Dpix 1000z sensor area

Width = 6.16 mm
Height = 4.62 mm

Surface area = 6.16 × 4.62 = 28.46 mm²


Pixel pitch

Pixel pitch is the distance from the center of one pixel to the center of the next measured in micrometers (µm). It can be calculated with the following formula:
Pixel pitch =   sensor width in mm  × 1000
sensor resolution width in pixels

Dpix 750z pixel pitch

Sensor width = 5.75 mm
Sensor resolution width = 3096 pixels
Pixel pitch =   5.75  × 1000  = 1.86 µm
3096

Dpix 1000z pixel pitch

Sensor width = 6.16 mm
Sensor resolution width = 3683 pixels
Pixel pitch =   6.16  × 1000  = 1.67 µm
3683


Pixel area

The area of one pixel can be calculated by simply squaring the pixel pitch:
Pixel area = pixel pitch²

You could also divide sensor surface area with effective megapixels:
Pixel area =   sensor surface area in mm²
effective megapixels

Dpix 750z pixel area

Pixel pitch = 1.86 µm

Pixel area = 1.86² = 3.46 µm²

Dpix 1000z pixel area

Pixel pitch = 1.67 µm

Pixel area = 1.67² = 2.79 µm²


Pixel density

Pixel density can be calculated with the following formula:
Pixel density =  ( sensor resolution width in pixels )² / 1000000
sensor width in cm

One could also use this formula:
Pixel density =   effective megapixels × 1000000  / 10000
sensor surface area in mm²

Dpix 750z pixel density

Sensor resolution width = 3096 pixels
Sensor width = 0.575 cm

Pixel density = (3096 / 0.575)² / 1000000 = 28.99 MP/cm²

Dpix 1000z pixel density

Sensor resolution width = 3683 pixels
Sensor width = 0.616 cm

Pixel density = (3683 / 0.616)² / 1000000 = 35.75 MP/cm²


Sensor resolution

Sensor resolution is calculated from sensor size and effective megapixels. It's slightly higher than maximum (not interpolated) image resolution which is usually stated on camera specifications. Sensor resolution is used in pixel pitch, pixel area, and pixel density formula. For sake of simplicity, we're going to calculate it in 3 stages.

1. First we need to find the ratio between horizontal and vertical length by dividing the former with the latter (aspect ratio). It's usually 1.33 (4:3) or 1.5 (3:2), but not always.

2. With the ratio (r) known we can calculate the X from the formula below, where X is a vertical number of pixels:
(X × r) × X = effective megapixels × 1000000    →   
X = √  effective megapixels × 1000000
r
3. To get sensor resolution we then multiply X with the corresponding ratio:

Resolution horizontal: X × r
Resolution vertical: X

Dpix 750z sensor resolution

Sensor width = 5.75 mm
Sensor height = 4.32 mm
Effective megapixels = 7.21
r = 5.75/4.32 = 1.33
X = √  7.21 × 1000000  = 2328
1.33
Resolution horizontal: X × r = 2328 × 1.33 = 3096
Resolution vertical: X = 2328

Sensor resolution = 3096 x 2328

Dpix 1000z sensor resolution

Sensor width = 6.16 mm
Sensor height = 4.62 mm
Effective megapixels = 10.20
r = 6.16/4.62 = 1.33
X = √  10.20 × 1000000  = 2769
1.33
Resolution horizontal: X × r = 2769 × 1.33 = 3683
Resolution vertical: X = 2769

Sensor resolution = 3683 x 2769


Crop factor

Crop factor or focal length multiplier is calculated by dividing the diagonal of 35 mm film (43.27 mm) with the diagonal of the sensor.
Crop factor =   43.27 mm
sensor diagonal in mm


Dpix 750z crop factor

Sensor diagonal in mm = 7.19 mm
Crop factor =   43.27  = 6.02
7.19

Dpix 1000z crop factor

Sensor diagonal in mm = 7.70 mm
Crop factor =   43.27  = 5.62
7.70

35 mm equivalent aperture

Equivalent aperture (in 135 film terms) is calculated by multiplying lens aperture with crop factor (a.k.a. focal length multiplier).

Dpix 750z equivalent aperture

Aperture is a lens characteristic, so it's calculated only for fixed lens cameras. If you want to know the equivalent aperture for Praktica Dpix 750z, take the aperture of the lens you're using and multiply it with crop factor.

Crop factor for Praktica Dpix 750z is 6.02

Dpix 1000z equivalent aperture

Aperture is a lens characteristic, so it's calculated only for fixed lens cameras. If you want to know the equivalent aperture for Praktica Dpix 1000z, take the aperture of the lens you're using and multiply it with crop factor.

Crop factor for Praktica Dpix 1000z is 5.62
