The retina contains two types of photoreceptor's, rods and cones. The rods are more numerous, some 120 million, and are more sensitive than the cones. However, they are not sensitive to colour.

What are the differences between a 1/1.3 sensor and a 1/2.3 sensor in terms of image quality and performance?

A 1/1.3 sensor is larger than a 1/2.3 sensor, which generally means it can capture more light and detail, resulting in better image quality and performance. The larger sensor size allows for better low-light performance, dynamic range, and overall image sharpness compared to a smaller sensor.


Why do lions see better than us?

Lions have more rods (cells for sensing light) in their eyes than humans, which allow them to see better in low light conditions. They also have a tapetum lucidum layer in their eyes that reflects light back through the retina, enhancing their night vision. These adaptations make their eyes more sensitive to light changes and give them an advantage in hunting at night.
