One of the biggest factors in determining the image quality a camera is able to produce is the size of the sensor. But despite this, it's sometimes hard to know how big a sensor is in any specific camera.

Well it used to be, but the newly-launched website CameraImageSensor.com hopes to solve that by letting users visually compare sensor size of any camera in its database.

Users simply tag a selection of cameras and are then presented with a diagram showing how big the image sensors are, along with technical specifications.

A spokesperson for CameraImageSensor.com said: "In recent years we can see a new trend of compact cameras with large sensors. With large sensors you get to have larger pixels which eventually leads to improved light gathering capability.

"With this web app you can compare the relative size and specs of a camera's image sensor to other sensors from various camera manufacturers."
