Don't forget the many sensor sizes of the compact digicams. Do you think
that developing as many jargons and reference as the available sensor sizes
would help? The problem is that industry makes as many sensor sizes as their
designers are capable to think about, hence there are no longer only a few
formats.
Once, the different formats were in the pro area, while consumers only had
35mm. Now the different formats are for those who really don't care about
them. However, it is not bad that someone among consumers can understand
something.
So 35mm became the standard all other formats refer to. In the universal
chaos, this is sort of a useful lighthouse. Not bad at all.
