Pinhead sensor is vastly exaggerated. I would accept this term for a 1/2,3 sensor, but not for a comparatively large 2/3 sensor.
All my pocketable P&S cameras have either 1/1.8" (7.18 x 5.32mm or 9.17mm diagonally), 1/1.7" (7.6 x 5.7mm or 9.71mm diagonally), 1/1.6" (8.08 x 6.01mm or 10.31mm diagonally) The ones with the 2/3" (8.80 x 6.60mm or 11.00mm diagonally) are not pocketable.
That's less than 2mm diagonally between the smallest 1/1.8" and the largest 2/3" you can accept what you like, they're all pinhead sensors.
"Pinhead" is a misleading and greatly exaggerated characterization of this sensor category.
And what you are not saying is the most crucial point, that the larger 2/3" sensor found in the X10 provides over 1 EV better low-light/high ISO performance, and often better DR and color depth over 1/1.7" sensors and smaller (See DxOMark sensor ratings).

So if you want to use the wildly inaccurate "pinhead" terminology, you should at least mention that ALL "pinheads" are not created equal since the 2/3" sensor outperforms ALL other small sensors for low noise/high ISO shooting and is only bested by the RX100/Nikon 1's 1" sensor cameras in low-light/high ISO performance.
Good to read. Paul Till had nearly convinced me that the 2/3 sensor offers no significant advantage over the smaller ones.
