For example: Nikon uses two-letter descriptors (FX for full-frame [24x36mm] and DX for 1.5x crop [25.1�16.7mm]) for the different sensor sizes on their DSLR cameras. Others use terms such as "ASP-C", "APS-H" or "FourThirds" to describe smaller than FX sized sensors. Very few actually state the actual sensor size in millimetres (or inches).

The terms APS-C, DX and FX etc. are in use, but I've never seen an inch size (") for a large sensor. And APS-C is not an exact size - sensor sizes can vary slightly, around 22 - 24mm width. Also crop factors are in use, but not Vidicon tube sizes. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site

So you are still in denial about four thirds of an inch ... |
