The 1.5" sensor is only fractionally smaller than APS-C

It's not a 1.5" sensor though. It's a "one inch" sensor.

1" sensors are 13.2mm x 8.8mm

APSC sensors (for most, Canon are slightly smaller) 24mm x 16mm

Anyway, the result is that a 1" sensor is merely 1/3 of the area of a APSC sensor. But as you have discovered there's plenty you can do with a little 1" sensor and it looks like a great camera, thanks again for the review.

Everything you write about 1" sensors is true, but the G1X series doesn't have a 1" sensor!
