Every camera uses an image sensor. There are several sizes used:

• 1/4 inch (very common)
• 1/3 inch (very common)
• 1/2 inch (very rare)

Through the years these sensors have become smaller and smaller. The biggest advantage was the reduction in lens dimensions, which also made cameras cheaper to manufacture. Practically this means that today we only see 1/4 inch en 1/3 inch sensors used.

Using the same lens, a 1/3 inch sensor compared to a 1/4 sensor gives a wider image, with a greater angle of view. Of course this also works the other way round. If you want the maximum of effective zoom you better use a camera with a 1/4 inch sensor. On the other hand, a 1/3 sensor has the advantage that there is more light sensitive material, which is why 1/3 tend to give a slightly better image quality in particular under low light conditions.
