Sensor Size
This is to compare 10 MP sensors in a digital SLR (DSLR) and a point and shoot (P&S) camera. I have tried to keep everything on equal footing with no unequal cropping of the original images. Both images were taken at the equivalent of 75 mm from about 1,000 feet away.

After you click on the link, you will have to mouse over the image to get a magnifying glass icon. Click while holding the magnifying glass over the image and you will be able to view it full size.
To me, the P&S sensor practically looks like an impressionist painting compared to the DSLR sensor. This is also the "large size" P&S sensor, as most are using the smaller 1/2.5" (5x4 mm) sensor.
