You can be sure they want to keep it confusing to the customers by not
showing how small a sensor they are buying, mine is a 1/1.7... (s6000fd)
because they want folks in a "happy buying dillusion" and so happy
with what they buy. I did my research, and it's all I need in a digital,
for quality and budget. But that new f50fd has a larger sensor of 1/1.6...
and pocketable... yearn

width: 7.600 / height: 5.700 / diagonal: 9.500 / diameter 14.941
millimeters

But how does the number of megapixels compare? If the F50fd has
significantly more than the S6000fd, then the S6000fd has the better
sensor of the two. F50fd == 12mp, S6000fd == 6mp. If you want a
pocketable Fuji, yearn for an F31fd (6mp) or an F40fd (8mp), NOT the
F50fd. The F31fd would probably be the best choice, if you can
still find one.
