Sometimes, it can be difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements just by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic below may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC and A3000.
Clearly, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements.
