Many different terms are used in marketing to describe DSLR/SLT/mirrorless sensor formats, including the following:
* {{val|860|u=mm2}} area [[Full-frame digital SLR]] format, with sensor dimensions nearly equal to those of [[135 film|35 mm film]] (36×24 mm) from [[Pentax_K-1|Pentax]], [[Panasonic Corporation|Panasonic]], [[Leica Camera|Leica]], [[Nikon]], [[Canon (company)|Canon]], [[Sony]] and announced in 2018 by [[Sigma Corporation|Sigma]] as upcoming.
* {{val|548|u=mm2}} area [[APS-H]] format for the high-end mirrorless SD Quattro H from [[Sigma Corporation|Sigma]] (crop factor 1.35)
* {{val|370|u=mm2}} area [[APS-C]] standard format from [[Nikon]], [[Pentax]], [[Sony]], [[Fujifilm]], Sigma (crop factor 1.5) (Actual APS-C film is bigger, however.)
* {{val|330|u=mm2}} area [[APS-C]] smaller format from [[Canon Inc.|Canon]] (crop factor 1.6)
* {{val|225|u=mm2}} area [[Micro Four Thirds System]] format from Panasonic, Olympus, Black Magic and Polaroid (crop factor 2.0)
* {{val|43|u=mm2}} area 1/1.7" [[Pentax Q#Pentax Q7|Pentax Q7]] (4.55 crop factor)
 
Obsolescent and out-of-production sensor sizes include:
* {{val|548|u=mm2}} area [[Leica Camera|Leica]]'s [[Leica M8|M8 and M8.2]] sensor (crop factor 1.33). ''Current M-series sensors are effectively full-frame (crop factor 1.0).''
* {{val|548|u=mm2}} area [[Canon (company)|Canon]]'s [[Advanced Photo System|APS-H]] format for high-speed pro-level DSLRs (crop factor 1.3). ''Current 1D/5D-series sensors are effectively full-frame (crop factor 1.0).''
* {{val|548|u=mm2}} area [[APS-H]] format for the high-end mirrorless SD Quattro H from [[Sigma Corporation|Sigma]] (crop factor 1.35)
* {{val|370|u=mm2}} area APS-C crop factor 1.5 format from [[Epson R-D1|Epson]], [[Samsung]] NX, [[Konica Minolta]].
* {{val|286|u=mm2}} area [[Foveon X3]] format used in [[Sigma Corporation|Sigma]] SD-series DSLRs and DP-series mirrorless (crop factor 1.7). ''Later models such as the [[Sigma SD1|SD1]], [[Sigma DP2 Merrill|DP2 Merrill]] and most of the Quattro series use a crop factor 1.5 Foveon sensor; the even more recent Quattro H mirrorless uses an APS-H Foveon sensor with a 1.35 crop factor.''
* {{val|225|u=mm2}} area [[Four Thirds System]] format from Olympus (crop factor 2.0)
* {{val|116|u=mm2}} area 1" [[Nikon CX format]] used in [[Nikon 1 series]]<ref>{{Citation | url = http://www.dpreview.com/news/1109/11092119nikonJ1.asp#press | title = Nikon unveils J1 small sensor mirrorless camera as part of Nikon 1 system | newspaper = Digital Photography Review}}.</ref> and [[Samsung]] mini-NX series (crop factor 2.7)
* {{val|43|u=mm2}} area 1/1.7" [[Pentax Q#Pentax Q7|Pentax Q7]] (4.55 crop factor)
* {{val|30|u=mm2}} area 1/2.3" original [[Pentax Q]] (5.6 crop factor). ''Current Q-series cameras have a crop factor of 4.55.''
