[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 443117, member: 12496"] Math is OK, but the details are suspect. I blundered at first too, but corrected it below: Your 1.27 cm must be from a 1/2 sensor. But a 1/2 inch sensor is as compared to the old glass video tubes (which were larger than their effective area). The sensor area is not nearly that large. Totally obsolete measuring system now, but compacts still persist... sounds better than real life I suppose. Wikipedia has Fuji 1/2 inch sensor as 6.4 mm wide.
