1A crop sensor camera has a smaller sensor than full frame sensor and therefore crops into the image. Usually entry level cameras or cameras in a lower price range use crop sensor cameras. If you want to know more about full frame vs crop sensor, have a look at this video: Crop vs Full Frame Sensor for the experts: for these images we used an APS-C sensor with a crop factor of 1.5x.
