There are a number of technologies that are used to sense magnetic fields. I have also included some places where magnetic fields are used like in MRI, NMR, particle accelerators that use super conducting magnets. Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials - For over 100 years, Elsevier Science has been dedicated to facilitating the exchange of information. http://www.prc68.com/I/Sensors.shtml
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format The image sensor format of a digital camera determines the angle of view of a particular lens when used with a particular camera. In particular, image sensors in digital SLR cameras tend to be smaller than the 24 mm x 36 mm image area of full-frame 35 mm cameras, and therefore lead to a narrower angle of view.
