The sensor is 1/1.7", the same size as the Canon S90 and G11. It's large by P&S standards.
While the TL500 is slightly larger than the S90, it has a hotshoe and a swivel LCD, and a faster lens. Samsung is clearly challenging the S90 and the Panny LX3 with this camera. This isn't the old Samsung of GX20 days--they've grown up now. --M.
