This is the actual size of the Rebel T5 sensor: 22.3 x 14.9 mm
The sensor has a surface area of 332.3 mm². There are approx. 18,000,000 photosites (pixels) on this area. Pixel pitch, which is a measure of the distance between pixels, is 4.29 µm. Pixel pitch tells you the distance from the center of one pixel (photosite) to the center of the next.

Pixel or photosite area is 18.4 µm². The larger the photosite, the more light it can capture and the more information can be recorded.

Pixel density tells you how many million pixels fit or would fit in one square cm of the sensor. Canon Rebel T5 has a pixel density of 5.43 MP/cm².

These numbers are important in terms of assessing the overall quality of a digital camera. Generally, the bigger (and newer) the sensor, pixel pitch and photosite area, and the smaller the pixel density, the better the camera. If you want to see how Rebel T5 compares to other cameras, click here.

Compare Rebel T5 with another camera



Diagonal is calculated by the use of Pythagorean theorem:
Diagonal =  w² + h²
where w = sensor width and h = sensor height

Canon Rebel T5 diagonal:

w = 22.30 mm
h = 14.90 mm
Diagonal =  22.30² + 14.90²   = 26.82 mm

Surface area


Width = 22.30 mm
Height = 14.90 mm

Surface area = 22.30 × 14.90 = 332.27 mm²

Pixel pitch

Pixel pitch =   sensor width in mm  × 1000
sensor resolution width in pixels

Canon Rebel T5 pixel pitch:

Sensor width = 22.30 mm
Sensor resolution width = 5196 pixels
Pixel pitch =   22.30  × 1000  = 4.29 µm

Pixel area

Pixel area = pixel pitch²

You could also divide sensor surface area with effective megapixels:
Pixel area =   sensor surface area in mm²
effective megapixels

Canon Rebel T5 pixel area:

Pixel pitch = 4.29 µm

Pixel area = 4.29² = 18.4 µm²

Pixel density

Pixel density can be calculated with the following formula:
sensor width in cm

You could also use this formula:
Pixel density =   effective megapixels × 1000000  / 10000
sensor surface area in mm²

Canon Rebel T5 pixel density:

Sensor resolution width = 5196 pixels
Sensor width = 2.23 cm

Pixel density = (5196 / 2.23)² / 1000000 = 5.43 MP/cm²

Sensor resolution



X =  effective megapixels × 1000000

Resolution horizontal: X × r
Resolution vertical: X

Canon EOS Rebel T5 sensor resolution:

Sensor width = 22.30 mm
Sensor height = 14.90 mm
Effective megapixels = 18.00
r = 22.30/14.90 = 1.5
X =  18.00 × 1000000  = 3464
Resolution horizontal: X × r = 3464 × 1.5 = 5196
Resolution vertical: X = 3464

Sensor resolution = 5196 x 3464

Crop factor

Crop factor =   43.27 mm
sensor diagonal in mm

Canon Rebel T5 crop factor:

Sensor diagonal = 26.82 mm
Crop factor =   43.27  = 1.61

35 mm equivalent aperture


Canon EOS Rebel T5 equivalent aperture:

Aperture is a lens characteristic, so it's calculated only for fixed lens cameras. If you want to know the equivalent aperture for Canon EOS Rebel T5, take the aperture of the lens you're using and multiply it with crop factor.

Crop factor for Canon Rebel T5 is 1.61
