The common 1" outside diameter circular video camera tubes have a rectangular photo sensitive area about 16 mm on the diagonal, so a digital sensor with a 16 mm diagonal size is a 1" video tube equivalent. The name of a 1" digital sensor should more accurately be read as "one inch video camera tube equivalent" sensor.
Drawing showing the relative sizes of sensors used in most current digital cameras. Advanced Photo System type-C (APS-C) is an image sensor format approximately equivalent in size to the Advanced Photo System film negative in its C ("Classic") format, of 25.1×16.7 mm, an aspect ratio of 3:2 and Ø 30.15 mm field diameter.

When comparing two sensors of the same size, for example, two APS-C sensors one 12.1 MP and one 18 MP, the one with the lower megapixel rating will usually perform better in low light. This is because the size of the individual pixels is larger, and more light is landing on each pixel, compared with the sensor with more megapixels.
The image sensor of Four Thirds and MFT measures 18 mm × 13.5 mm (22.5 mm diagonal), with an imaging area of 17.3 mm × 13.0 mm (21.63 mm diagonal), comparable to the frame size of 110 film. [4] Its area, ca. 220 mm 2 , is approximately 30% less than the APS-C sensors used in other manufacturers' DSLRs ; it is around 9 times larger than the 1/ ...
(* The pixel number of 6,000x4,000 ist the number of "effective pixels". The sensor usually has a few extra rows of pixels on all four sides, which explains the sensor resolution of 24.3 MPixels often stated, but no information about the exact image size available.) 6,016 4,000 24,064,000 24.1 Nikon D3300 Canon M50: 6,048 4,032 24,385,536 24.4
Pixels are square and is often equal to 1, for example, a 1,000 by 1,000-pixel sensor would have 1,000,000 pixels, or 1 megapixel. On full-frame sensors (i.e., 24 mm 36 mm), some cameras propose images with 20–25 million pixels that were captured by 7.5–m photosites , or a surface that is 50 times larger.
In addition to increased resolution, larger image sensors are becoming available; Kodak has produced a 50-megapixel CCD which is 49.1 × 36.85 mm (1.93 × 1.45″), approaching the size of a frame of 120 film (60 × 45 mm) and is twice the area of a 35 mm frame (36 × 24 mm), and over seventy times the area of the typical 1/1.8″ (7.2 × 5.3 ...
