Wikipedia has a page for every unique camera model. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_Coolpix_P1000
It only seems to be missing the 5.6x crop factor.

Inches. About one centimeter square.

NOT at all ...
6.2x4.5mm isn’t “about one centimeter square.” It’s barely about 1/4 of that.
It is NOT 1/2.3 inches in area. It’s the format size of a “1/2.3 inch” vidicon TV camera tube. The actual format size is much smaller than the tube. The actual imaging format is about 0.25x0.35 inch.
There may be some fudge factor when that gets translated to consumer digital cameras, but it’s still a pretty damnt small sensor :-(

There’s not much real math.
Mainly just custom or tradition.
Nice chart BTW.

You can edit Wikipedia and add the 5.6x crop factor. That’s both the beauty and the curse of Wikipedia. Anyone can edit, so the information should be taken with a grain of salt until confirmed from a reliable source.

With the 1/2.3 sensor as 6.17 x 4.55 mm is 6.17mm a diagonal measurement?
Since math always leads to big trouble around here I will just say that those figures are the sides, and you probably know that the diagonal must be longer than either side.

Good question. Everyone know what 35mm film looks like. Why can millimeters be the standard measurement?

Good morning "Iron Sight",
Thanks so much for the excellent graphic. My nearly 72 year old mind just seems to grasp ideas / concepts so much easier this way. In over 40 years as a Health Care professional (Vascular / Thoracic surgery) dealing with only very infrequent abstract issues visualization always made an enormous / positive difference.
All the best to you and yours,
Terry
