Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 54 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick McEvoy and I explain one photographic thing per episode in plain English in less that 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail. I have well over 30 years of experience in photography so I do know what I am talking about!

In this episode - What Is A Medium Format Camera?

Here is my answer
A medium format camera is a camera with a sensor which is larger than a full frame camera. A medium format camera take photos with higher image quality, resolution and detail. As well as having a larger sensor the pixels are larger meaning more light is captured giving increased tonal information. Medium format cameras capture a wider dynamic range than full frame cameras.
