The hypothetical TRUTH about the 1 inch sensor

If you are hearing a high pitched sound on the tv shots then you have super super sensitive hearing. Most people can’t hear it. Please try the version on Vimeo as I cut off the high end. Let me know if it works for you! • The hypothetical TRUTH... 🙂
All video camera sensors are inaccurate in their naming no matter what their size. They are based on historical naming, not their physical measurements and that includes 35mm as that is based on the entire width of film including the perforations, the width of film that is used is 24mm.
In this video, I go explain how the inch measurement and all its fractions came about, why they still use it, how they equate to real physical dimensions and why I think it is time to come up with a new system. I also take the Insta360 One R One Inch edition and turn it into an interchangeable lens camera to show just how powerful a 1" sensor can be despite it being small.
Funny fact! I totally forgot about the Z-Cam E2G which has a 1” CMOS sensor with global shutter and MFT mount. The funny part is I have one! What a muppet! 😂

It’s also totally focused on dedicated video cameras likes the ones in this video. Thank you!

I thought you had one. :) Do the Z-Cam’s easily remove the IR cut filter? I finally joined the Blackmagic crowd with the BMPCC4K, I looked at the internals and it doesn’t look as easy as the original BMPCCK to remove the IR Cut filter.

Philip Bloom - in the best British tradition of expertise in their favorite subjects. No fluff, no hype, no clickbait. I love the learning, the thoroughness, and the comfort that we are listening to a real pro, not a Yutube - Johnny just come lately recent sensation (who has boned up on the subject on Wikipedia).

Years later I keep coming back to this video anytime I need to re-understand sensor size and crop factor. Such an educational and entertaining resource!

Philip, your videos are always so incredibly interesting and well produced. You take us down a rabbit hole, and hypnotize us with your clever musings and dreamlike footage. Seriously appreciate you. It's always a great day when you post new videos.
Thanks Philip, what a great watch! The old black and white stuff reminded me of 70s Dr Who. And a nice trip down memory lane with some of your previous work; what you were able to do in the end proves it isn’t the sensor size or even the camera brand, it’s the hands you put the camera in! Always inspirational.
I cannot begin to imagine the number of hours that went into planning this. Brilliant, thank you!
Hi Phillip, that was the best video I’ve seen on KZread. Thank you for the most incredible amount of hard work you do. In a world of headline grabbing Canon vs Nikon vs Sony content your well thought out work is a tonic. Thanks again, we appreciate it :)
Excellent video as always, I love the props and the editing, and also very educational! Thank you for putting this together.
Love this! I'm 67, and have seen cameras (still & Video) go through multi-generational changes. (I still own a couple of Nikon F/FTN's film cameras...and have adapted many of my old Nikkor lenses for use on my cinema cameras). Also love the use of the old B&W TV...reminded me of the film "Brazil".
I have been watching your YT stuff for years, but this is by far my new fav PB video.
you made me sit through a half hour video…amazing
Brilliant and informative as usual! The king of camera reviews. Especially with the rapid increase of camera-products over the last couple of years. Legend. Absolute legend. BTW you’re looking a lot younger lately, whether it be just taking good care of yourself or using hair/body products to enhance you’re appearance. Keep it up :) Love from Aus 🇦🇺
This video demonstrates video editing/video creation skills that I've never seen before. Bravo!

This was fantastic Philip, one of the most enjoyable and informative videos you have made (which is saying something!) this is a true geek out. I also dig the Sony Trinitron widescreen CRT in there - was my first big screen TV at 28”!
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. I’m only beginning my journey so it is great to have you as a guide, learning so much about a complex field. Cheers
My sympathies for your back. I'm about 23 years into herniated discs from L4 to S1, and it's miserable some days. Right now, it's been especially miserable. Some times I've got to run the the bathroom, sometimes I can't stand up, other times I just can't pick anything up. It's sucks for sure.
I'm so glad you cleared this up for us all, Philip! I was misinformed on a forum years ago that it was the circumference of the tube which the 1" referred to! I know better now, thank you. I still love my Sony RX100 IV with its 1.0 stacked CMOS sensor, apart from the overheating when recording 4K... but do wonder if there is a way to Frankenstein it to accept my C-mount lenses... Hmmmm, where's the Dremmel?
AHHH there's my gorgeous Digital Bolex camera. Shot many projects with it and miss it! Jealous you still have one!
Brilliant Cinematography just to explain something... Always a pleasure to watch your videos Philip!!!
Philip, you mad genius! This was absolutely wonderful to watch and I have zero background in video or cinematography! 😅 Why on earth isn't infrared video more popular?! Just gorgeous!
So creative and educational. I need to watch again to digest all the info. 🙏
Philip, you can make any subject interesting. Very entertaining and informative. Brilliant!
I had NO IDEA 2/3" did not refer to the diameter, let alone what a bizarre thing it actually does refer to
I tried to understand this particular subject before, but I can't. This video gave me some understanding but there is a lot to learn about cameras than I ever thought I will need to. Happy 50th birthday Philip, you look great.
Very well put together video! Awesome work!
I sensibly sense you're the sensai of sensors. Thanks again for sharing another piece of wisdom with us, Philip.
Great video Phil! Bonus points for using a Danny Stewart Sun rockabilly track too!
Awesome informative video. I even learned something from the description about the film that i shoot with. Who know the actual area used was 24mm.
As always very very good video , specially the part about vacuum tube and it's measurements related to size of sensor !! Too good Mr.Philip !!
Glad you forgot about it .. so we could enjoy watching you play Swiss watch maker with the insta360 R.. which was so much more fun !! I also like the subtle emphasis shift in your videos where you take it upon yourself to self “improve” products to give you capabilities that you have asked the manufacturers for.. but have given up waiting for.. love it !
Thanks Philip, I was thinking about doing the same video, but your research goes over and above mine. I'm old school, vidicon and saticon tubes.... very soft picture quality for BnW TV at the time. Great video, Bravo. Greg
Paused to say belated birthday wishes! Thanks for all the wonderful films you make! =)
What a great video! Its so nice to see some long format video on such a specific topic. I love using super 16 either film or D16 and although there isnt much available beyond HD they are great to use especially for run and gun or single operator projects. The blackmagic pocket 4k can also replicate s16 with the 2.7k crop as well as the gh5 line of cameras with the Ex. Tele. converter option while maintaining 4k! Hopefully there will be some new interesting interchangeable lens 1inch sensor cameras some time soon! Fingers crossed...

The best thing about film is you don't need hight tech to see the imagery. 1,000 years from now someone could get some useful information (if stored well, esp b&w). Digital will be long gone. I read somewhere some studios are actually making film prints from digital b/c it stores better.

@@scottslotterbeck3796 When stored well film can be a great way to archive information! 16mm film strikes a good balance between size and cost for special projects that could be achieved or projected but is still out of the hands of most film makers... It'll be interesting to see what the future holds for smaller formats as the industry has been trending towards larger formats whether its digital large format or 70mm etc I have also been interested in creating negatives from digital images but haven't had a chance to experiment with it...
We had one of the Sony AVC 3200 cameras at school with the CV2100 1/2 inch recorder. When I was 12 I was left some money by my grandmother and bought a Hitachi FP71 vidicon camera and Sony CV2100 recorder. I still have the recorder and tapes from it although they need baking for a few hours to play.

Brilliant! Phillip, In 1970 when artist Andy Warhol acquired a Sony Portapak, a reel-to-reel 1/2 inch system, that he seriously began to explore the video medium. His famous prediction, "Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes!" came to fruition with the advent of KZread! In the early 1970's I went to an experimental "hippy" high school that was very Arts oriented where we had access to 2 Sony Portapaks, which initiated my love of filming, went to Art School, then grad school to study video and audio production, where we would haul those heavy Sony ¾ U-Matic portable decks with cameras around. Now with 12K video cameras we've come a very long way in the last 50 years!!! GREAT video , informative and entertaining! Also, I developed back problems, as well, after lugging those cameras around. Also loved and used the Sony Betacam! Could never afford one, though!

Fascinating! I’ve always wondered where that convention came from.
What I appreciate is not only the wonderful video, but also the captions. I watched it twice, one with caption and one without, and it doesn't look like the captions are automatically generated. Did you also provide that? Also, how hard is it to focus on that tiny screen of the Insta360?

Great stuff been a fan since the Sky Walker ranch videos on the 5D Mark II though surely you were making stuff long before! Any chance you could do a video and detail the process of changing the action cameras to interchangeable lens cameras? Also it would be great to know about company that makes this adapter and what opportunities one would have to basically work with a truly modular system that can be updated over time as sensors, screens, monitors and bodies evolve. That would be something! You might be on your way to creating your own cinema camera company!
