calculations - Can I calculate sensor size from pixel dimensions and number (to find angle of view)?


I read up an equation on Wikipedia i.e. a camera's angle of view can be found from the following equation


angle of view = 2 arctan ( d / 2f )

where f = focal length and d = size of film or sensor.


I am now trying to find the field of view of this camera https://www.ptgrey.com/flea2-14-mp-color-firewire-1394b-sony-icx267-camera. The size of the sensor / film is not given but what are given are the pixel size and the resolution. Would the sensor size simply be the pixel size * the number of pixels along the width / rows ? I also have only the focal length in pixels and was wondering how i can convert it to mm.


This is an image taken by that camera btw.

Why is the front element of a telephoto lens larger than a wide angle lens?

A wide angle lens has a wide angle of view, therefore it would make sense that the front of the lens would also be wide. A telephoto lens ha...
