[QUOTE="tadd5181, post: 52743, member: 9333"] I am looking at a Nikon camera (D5100) which has a sensor size of 23.6mm x 15.6 mm (or .93" x .61"). I also have looked at an Olympus camera (SP-810 US) which as a sensor size of 1/2.3" sensor size. I take that latter to mean that the Olympus sensor size is 1" x 2.3". I am confused. The Nikon D5100 is supposedly a much better camera, at least by price, yet it seems the Olympus sensor's size is bigger, and further i thought the larger the sensor size the better the camera. So, i must be mistaken about something here. Can someone straighten me out? Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
