Sorry for the dumb question.
I was wondering why digital P & S cameras have small sensors when film compacts could use 35mm film without a huge SLR like lens?
On another note. I still have old prints of photos taken with a Samsung 35mm film camera, but the prints are old and not exactly able to compare them with the modern P & S digitals, but still they look quite good. Were 35mm film compacts, used properly, more capable qualitatively than modern entry-level P & S digital cameras?
Tried to search online for this, but only got information/comparisons between 35mm SLR and DSLR, not point and shoots.
Of course, I realize film is a different medium, but still film compacts are quite a bit smaller than DSLRs, especially the lens. Would love to be educated about this.
