(A camera's image sensor and processor also determine low-light performance.)

This gives them weaker low-light performance, greater depth of field, generally closer focusing ability, and smaller components than cameras using larger sensors.

This gives them superior low-light performance, less depth of field at a given aperture, and a larger size.

F series: Compact models with exceptional low-light performance and advanced features.

This translates to better low-light performance, better color accuracy, and in some cases better dynamic range.

But it also means that it is not capable of extended low-light performance without flash.

We're holding out hope, however, that the new camera doesn't come with a major compromise in low-light performance, no matter the supplier.

I'd rather take better low-light performance over fluffed megapixel number any day.

Despite these issues, early BI sensors found uses in niche roles where their better low-light performance was important.

When combined with the new back-illuminated layout, the sensor improved low-light performance by as much as two times.
