All you wanted to know about sensors: dpreview.com Sensor size: This diagram shows the typical sensor sizes compared to 35mm film. The sensor sizes of digital SLRs are typically 40% to 100% of the surface of 35mm film. Digital compact cameras have substantially smaller sensors offering a similar number of pixels. As a consequence, the pixels are much smaller, which is a key reason for the image quality difference, especially in terms of noise and dynamic range. dpreview.com The site the above came from is a very good site for camera reviews and general information on digital photography. dpreview.com
