The full 35mm photo sensor

This is a large photosensor that is (more or less) the same size of the traditional 35mm film.

A lucky coincidence

Digital cameras rely on image sensors instead of photographic film to capture images. For analog photography, the 35mm film had established it over many years. The size of the film also determined the parameters of the lenses as they needed to be designed in a way to illuminate the full size of the film. Once digital cameras started appearing, the film was replaced by an image sensor that could convert the light intensity to an electrical signal.

At this point it was actually a coincidence that it was still possible to manufacture image sensors the size of 35mm film, roughly 36mm by 24mm. The beauty of this was that, new digital cameras could continue to use all the lenses developed for 35mm film directly.
