Angry Photographer "Kicks the Bucket" PART 2: FX Sensor Size & "More Light"
Angry Photographer "Kicks the Bucket" PART 2: FX Sensor Size & "More Light"
DSLR PIXEL PITCH chart here:

Pixel density (except for the new breed like the Canon 5d) is HIGHER on a DX sensor vs a FX sensor, or more "ice cube holes per same area in DX"
DX average is about 4.2micrometers
FX average is about 6.9micrometers
There is HIGHER gain (of course) on larger (FX) photosites (or in the CORRECT analogy "bucketS")
Other people who say a bigger "sensor is a bigger bucket and THIS is why it has better ISO performance" are 100% dead wrong, flat out.
Larger photosites have better GAIN, of course, and this is why there is better ISO (and DR) performance on FX sensors, but it is NOT because "the entire sensor is bigger (or as said a "bigger bucket")"
It WOULD be correct however if someone said "a FF sensor has (millions of) bigger bucketS"
But that is NOT what was said.
WRONG QUOTES:::::: THESE ARE THE EXACT QUOTES I FOUND WHICH ARE 100% INCORRECT IN ONE REFERENCE VIDEO:
1. “bigger sensors have more square mm, therefore theyre gathering more light”
2. “bigger and smaller bucket in the rain, both gather 1” of rain, but in VOLUME, the bigger bucket gathers more water………this is the same way sensors work”
3. “larger sensor at the same ISO will gather more total light”.
4. “this is why we see cleaner images with bigger sensors (because the total sensor is a 'bigger bucket')
5. “more light in total means (you get) cleaner images”
The incorrect quotes from the other video, I wrote down in the INFO above, are undeniable and are 100% false and wrong.
This is undeniable by anyone.
The ONLY correct use of the word "BUCKETS" (bucketS NOT buckeT!!) i found online was this CORRECT ONE:
"Think of those pixels as buckets that attract light – the larger the bucket, the more light it can (capture) in a given amount of time.
These buckets are known as “photosites” and their size plays a huge role in sensor sensitivity (and ISO....and DR)"
