2/3 vs. 1" type sensors

The point is that some of us still have these cameras,

Oh.....gee...That's what I thought too..and shared a few of my photo's from over 10 years ago Last year I bought a S90 in mint condition, box, manual..everything...for $42.00 !

Ricoh GX100 bought 6 months ago for around the same. So I knew the point already

and like to use them occasionally. The A series was great for slipping into a jeans pocket because the grip stuck out enough that it wouldn't go all the way in, and since it's plastic it's very light.

I loved my A620...or was it the A610? 10MP. The following year they added O.I.S.

Great for street photography. Would a G9 be better, yeah - but you can't buy one for $50 or less.

I can only imagine your take on guys shooting film. Corn flakes too soggy this morning?

Oatmeal this morning...came out just right

Well...this is what you said:

"The Pro 1 has a 2/3rds sensor with 8 mp which compares favorably to the 1" sensors with 20 mp considering the size of the photosites. Images are quite clean."

Compares favorably to the 1" sensors?

How?

Which camera with 1" sensor do you have?

My experience is that the 1" sensor has less noise at all ISO settings than the 2/3" 8 MP sensor, Sony made..back in the day.

Thus my reason for my comments...nothing to do with Film, Cornflakes, etc, just on your opinion that the 2/3" sensor compares favorably to the 1" sensors.

Perhaps I should of made it more simple:

They don't.

(Just my opinion...but based on some experience with digital ..since 2002)
