Does anyone know where I can find a usb camera sensor with the largest possible. sensor size

I wanna mess around with Larger lens photography but I really want to see if there's a version of such hardware. that fits in the size of a usb webcam or at least an oversized one

Looking for something with a fullframe sensor. but the only things I can really find that have that contain the full camea

 

I'm looking for something more along the lines of an usb webcam that can take full size photography lenses.

 

 

 

Polygons? textures?  samples? You want it? It's yours, my friend, as long as you have enough Vram.
Hey heads up I  have writing disorder I try my best but still make errors.

Some DSLR like the Cannon D1000 can be used as webcam.

Probably not at a price that you are willing to pay. These are in the territory of industrial inspection cameras and they are priced sky high. It would be cheaper to get a Sigma FP or something like that if you want small full frame.

Blackmagic studio cameras are what you're looking for... hundreds of dollars though, and you'd need additional HW to deal with the SDI output on many models.

Something like what I've linked. 

Most have standard TV lens mounts, though they can be adapted to other formats.

Same with the Z-cam.

Neither of those are full frame though.

Correct, not full frame but they're the closest OP can get to the body size requirement.

There are always these as well... But really, just get a standard camera body 😉

@danalog There is the Hasselblad 907X.

Medium format so the sensor size to body ratio might be similar.

 

43x32mm sensor in a 91x92mm body.

Full frame sensors aren't cheap to make, which is why you're struggling to find the product you have described in a price bracket that's attractive. 

 

A "webcam" sized usb camera only exists because the sensors used in those are cheap and small, and have reached commodity status. Full frame 35mm sensors simply aren't commodities for random manufacturers to stick a USB interface on.

 

This is absolutely not what you asked for,  but if you want to experiment with larger sensors, best way to do that (on the cheap) is to get an old DSLR. Something like a Canon 5d mk2, for example, can be had for only a few hundred bucks second hand, and has the benefit of tons of cheap EF mount glass on the used market.

 

But even this is still an investment of hundreds of dollars, unless you get lucky on FB marketplace or the like.

 

Even APS-C is quite expensive compared to what you typically see on a USB interface. 

 

It's possible something in the 1" sensor class exists in the format you want, good luck.
