Its good to see this stuff. Print it out! Also very good to absorb is the mm2's of each format. Why I looked it up is I was checkout out the "Leica" V lux camera which is gorgeous but has ridiculously tiny 1/1.8" inch sensor which would be great for a credit card camera. 38 mm2's. Square millimeters that's supposed to mean. 4/3's is 225 mm2's APS-C is 379 mm2's 35mm full frame is 864 mm2's Medium format in this example is 1977 mm2's Maybe the formats should be named after your fingernails.
