For what it's worth, your 35mm frame example would still hold true to the webcams. I have a few spare iSight sensors and the physical size of the component is larger than the one in my Mini 10v, which is also 1.3 megapixels.
Why spread misinformation, even though it makes it easier to understand for the other party? You just used pricing as an example - you didn't go into the 'why'. I just pointed that out. Maybe I'm too technical?
