FF 35mm is more than 50% wider angle of coverage compared to *istD sensor, that is HUGE for a given focal length but not anywhere near the difference a tiny P&S sensor would be. that would be mega-HUGE. JCO

Getting back to DA lenses we know the size of the *ist D sensor and it's not that much smaller than 35mm FF.
