Consumers don't know that, nor do the vast majority of them care.
Besides, a 110-sized sensor would still be a lot bigger than the
sensors
in normal digital P&S cameras.

I'd be willing to bet it would be fairly simple to engineer a DSLR
Auto 110. The sensor and some of the electronics could be set into a
precision made 110 cartridge (easily replaced when better [more dense]
sensors come along). The rest of the electronics and the battery(s)
could fit into a gutted motor drive module. There is already a vast
array (6) of lenses available for the camera, and they are selling for
next to nothing on eBay. Same with the bodies and accessories. There's
a great business opportunity for someone, if we can all keep quiet
about the demand for Auto 110 equipment for the project.
I already have three custom cases for mine when they are
available! :-)
