For instance, 1/2.7 inch.
This is, of course, reducible to 0.3704. Roughly.
Which represents what? The area of the chip? 0.3704
Excellent, thanks , Chris!

Thanks, Mark. That is one of those answers you just have to happen to
know. Logic doesn't help without the history lesson!
That's a good site. Explains it clearly.
Now tell me something else...
All other things being equal, suppose you have 3 camera bodies with 2,
3 and 4 megapixel CCD sensors.

digitals. Something to do with algorithms. For example, would a Nikon
D1 or D1H with less than 3 megapixels produce better photos than a
Kodak DX3900 with 3.3 megapixels?
A 3MP DSLR picture is better than that of a compact consumer digicam.

Something to do
Let's not forget the algorithms implemented in the DSLRs are far
more sophisticated. A large DSLR body houses a fast 32bit chip
fast enough to run a quadratic interpolation while a compact digicam
has to settle with simpler algorithms.
Speaking of this, let us not forget also how

Why make a fraction out of it,
