Pentax Q sensor = 1/2.3" 28.5mm2

the G12 and P7000 sensor have an area 50% greater than the Q

I've tried to explain it in simpler terms via the 'Post a comment' feature.
I wonder if it gets past moderation?!

I'll be honest though, having looked at the images for all three days of the blog, there is nothing on there that my 'GenericBrand LetterNumber" enthusist compact couldn't produce. Plus it left me with a few hundred quid in my pocket to blow on all manner of post-watershed activities.

As it has been stated in a review that the sensor is larger than the G12/P7000 does that technically mean its now true?

Thanks for that Stefan. The page navigation links on the article completely eluded me.

Who cares about the sensor size!, it's the image quality that matters.
All this speculating is getting a little tedious.
Let's wait until the camera is available and see some 'real' results!

Yup. We're stuck with it now. My friend has a G12. I was going to post a picture taken with it so interested peeps could compare.

I'm not particularly concerned with sensor size per se, moreso with 'reviewers' actually having a clue what they're talking about.Who cares about the sensor size!, it's the image quality that matters.

To be fair, there are plenty of 'real' results on the linked articles, so not so much speculation as critique.
That said, I look forward to trying one out myself.

Speculating? The sensor sizes of the models compared aren't open to speculation they have been factually documented by even the manufacturers. ( although now a review has spoken I can understand why their might be some confusion )Who cares about the sensor size!, it's the image quality that matters.
