Yet most of the reason why sensor size or "acreage" matters the most in
digital as well as in film is that in digital you get the more roomy pixel
pitches. Bigger.

This practically reason does not hold up I the film analogy but the results
seem to end up the same.
Acreage acreage acreage.

A reason why the X1 is a big deal.
Same size or smaller camera. Twice the a acreage.  Or darned close to it.

A reason why the S2 is a big deal.
Same size or smaller camera. Twice the a acreage. Or darned close to it.
