Due to the size constraints of powerful zoom objectives, most current [[bridge camera]]s have 1/2.3" sensors, as small as those used in common more compact cameras. As lens sizes are proportional to the image sensor size, smaller sensors enable large zoom amounts with moderate size lenses. In 2011 the high-end [[Fujifilm X-S1]] was equipped with a much larger 2/3" sensor. In 2013–2014, both Sony ([[Cyber-shot DSC-RX10]]) and Panasonic ([[Lumix DMC-FZ1000]]) produced bridge cameras with 1" sensors.
 
The sensors of [[camera phone]]s are typically much smaller than those of typical compact cameras, allowing greater miniaturization of the electrical and optical components. Sensor sizes of around 1/6" are common in camera phones, [[webcam]]s and [[digital camcorder]]s. The [[Nokia N8]]'s 1/1.83" sensor was the largest in a phone in late 2011. The [[Nokia 808]] (2012) surpasses compact cameras with its 41 million pixels, 1/1.2" sensor.<ref>http://europe.nokia.com/PRODUCT_METADATA_0/Products/Phones/8000-series/808/Nokia808PureView_Whitepaper.pdf Nokia PureView imaging technology whitepaper</ref>
