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.

Just because a sensor is small doesn't mean it will take bad pictures. You give the newb a D3100 and a point and shoot with a pro, and the pro will make better pictures. Another big reason for the higher quality quality of pictures has to do with the lens. Agree with Senna, not good to spread misinformation. Ie. An incorrect analogy.
