Hall of Famer
The makers of CameraSize.com recently introduced a neat sensor size comparison tool at CameraImageSensor.com.
I used it to quickly whip up this comparison of a representative group of mirrorless camera sensors:
Some of the things that stand out to me visually:
It's a lot of fun to play with, and it's even more fun to mix and match the camera sizes...
... with the respective sensor sizes:
Check out both tools for yourself:

I used it to quickly whip up this comparison of a representative group of mirrorless camera sensors:
Some of the things that stand out to me visually:
- 2 stops (4X area) separates each of these cameras from the one that follows it: M9 (135 format), OM-D (4/3), X10 (2/3"), iPhone 4S (1/3.2")
- 4/3 (OM-D E-M5) is a lot closer to APS-C (EOS-M, NEX-7) than APS-C is to 135 format (M9)
- 4/3 (OM-D E-M5 is roughly halfway between 1" (RX100) and 1.5X APS-C (NEX-7)
- 1" (RX100) is roughly halfway between "serious" small sensors (S100, X10) and 4/3" (OM-D E-M5)
It's a lot of fun to play with, and it's even more fun to mix and match the camera sizes...
