The '''crop factor''' is the difference between the size of the [[CCD]]
sensor in your camera and the size of a typical 35mm film frame.

Usually CCDs are smaller, so the '''crop factor''' for a pocket camera can
be around 6 and the crop factor for a DSLR is usually around 1.5.
Some DSLRs have a 35mm size sensor so the factor for these is 1.
