The reason for using a small sensor is size. Well, that is the reason I can think of. So I do find the size of the lenses a let down... Especially the lots of real estate used AROUND the glass... the glass elements themselves are indeed small. [/quote]
Yep. This is especially true for the superzoom, but also for the kit lens. Lenses of this size would certainly have allowed for a larger sensor.

You comment about the MF steps that are too big, dpreview comments about the magnification on the display to just make things unsharp.

Magnification is almost useless, indeed. At least maximum magnification.
The MF steps are too large for our review procedure, but most likely not for general and intended use.
