Hey guys! Been shooting for some time, but i've always been curious as to what an aps-h sensor is for & why was it discontinued? Whenever I go on camera decisions I always look at sensor types and forget about aps-h. When I click on it i'll see multiple variations of the canon 1D series, a sigma quattro & a leica m8/m8.2 ( which this entire time i thought was full frame, maybe thats the m9 ) but why did they get rid of it? I wonder what the photography world would be like if we used close to full frame instead of crop sensor. imagine if it went 1x, 1.3x, 1.5x.. and m43 was a 1.5x crop rather than a x2 crop.
