The Fuji X10 sensor size (2/3") is close to other "enthusiast" compacts like the Panasonic LX5, the Canon S95, and the Olympus XZ-1.

It has a 4x crop factor. That's not too bad (8.8x6.6mm = 58 sqmm).

1/1.7" = 6.6x5.3mm = 35 sqmm.



So the X10 sensor is 65% bigger than in the other "enthusiast" digicams.

It's still much smaller than 4/3 (@225 sqmm)
