CAMERA SENSOR SIZE SIZE COMPARISON TO APS-C SENSOR
  Full Frame Full Frame is 2.63 times the size of APS-C
CANON XT / 350D 8.0MP APS-C  
  Four Thirds APS-C is 1.35 times the size of Four Thirds
CANON SD800 IS 7.1MP 1/2.5" APS-C is 13.25 times the size of 1/2.5"
SONY HDR-SR11 5.6MP 1/3" APS-C is 19.01 times the size of 1/3"

The APS-C dSLR sensor is considerably larger than the sensors used in the compact P&S and HD camcorder, so each dSLR pixel will receive more than 10 times the amount of light to form noticeably cleaner images under low-light situations.
