That photo doesn't show the M43 sensor size. An M43 sensor is larger than 1".Did you see the release article in dpr news about the new Xiaomi phone with the huge sensor 12.8% wider on the diagonal than M43 sensors? First it was 10x optical zoom using 3 fixed focal length lenses, now huge sensors bigger than M43. Here's the size shown in the article if you didn't see it.
Wonder how pocketable it will be? Lens would be pretty long wouldn't it?
The picture doesn't show any diagonal dimensions of any of them. The labels are the terms used for the sensor sizes. The little diagonal lines are visual fluff.OK, a bit more clarification. Their picture shows the comparison of their sensors and clearly shows the diagonal dimension of the 1" sensor as 1".
That photo is wrong. The diagonal of a 1" sensor is only 16mm or .63 inches.
It's the industry standard.
Seems so:
Is your first post intended to be sarcastic? It does not come across.
While being aware of the TV tube size notation, one might still consider the diagram on the Xiaomi site showing a large 1" on an arrow pointing from corner to corner as somewhat misleading, as the actual corner to corner measurement of a 1" sensor would be around 0.63".
There are only four phones that have launched in the last few years with a lens capable of offering multiple FLs on the same sensor, and they all use the same lens - the xperia 1 iii and iv, and xperia 5 iii and iv. The rest have several prime lenses and use the crop relative to the main sensor to describe their field of view.No, it's optical zoom using zoom lenses. Here's an incomplete list of actual optical zoom cameras.
- Sony Xperia 1V: 3 fixed lens cameras, 1 1.5x optical zoom.
- Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G: 2 fixed lens cameras, 1 3x zoom, 1 10x zoom. Other S22 family members only have the 1 zoom camera, the 3x. Samsung has been making zoom cameras since the infamous "S4 zoom" some 13 years ago.
- Samsung Z-Fold 3: 2 fixed, 1 2x zoom camera.
- iPhone 13 Pro Max: 2 fixed lens cameras, 1 3x optical zoom camera.
- iQ00 9 pro: 2 fixed lens cameras, 1 2.5x optical zoom camera.
- Vivo X70: 3 fixed lens cameras, 1 5x optical zoom camera.
now huge sensors bigger than M43. Here's the size shown in the article if you didn't see it.

Have you actually reached out to them about their improperly made marketing materials? Or are you just posting it here.
You simply misinterpreted the intended description of size given in that photo.Because a 1" sensor as used in cameras is only 15.7mm. The photo clearly is marked up per the standard protocol (dimension in center with lines angling to opposite corners) for showing diagonal measurement showing that diagonal measurement as 1" Actually all of the diagonal measurements shown in their photo are wrong, but only the 1" one is being raved about in this article.
That's a common error. Olympus has stated officially in interviews and press releases that four thirds refers to both the sensor size and the aspect ratio. Olympus used to wax poetically about the beauty of that aspect ratio.
Rendering. It's not a "photo".
You appear to be operating on a different definition of "clearly" than the rest of the world.
And three of the sensors shown have Sony part numbers and the fourth has an Apple model number. You can easily look up all four sensors and see with your own eyes that they all are exactly "as we know in terms of camera sensors". Or you can keep ranting and looking ever sillier.
No. What Sony says is that they have the only camera with a particular optical zoom ratio, not that they are the only ones with any sort of optical zoom.
And yet the phone makers describe the lenses as "optical zooms", specify different ratios of optical zoom and digital zoom, and enumerate which sensors have zoom lenses and which ones are primes.
Do you seriously believe that phone maker after phone maker would be using the term "optical zoom" in their spec sheets and advertisements if they didn't have it? Complaints would pour in (mostly from their competitors, masquerading as customers) about it, and various advertising standards agencies would shut that down so fast it would make your head spin.
