Gill,

yes, yes and yes, when you are dealing with a compact camera like the SD 900 that you refer to, you have a smaller area that the original picture is projected onto, therefore your file size will be smaller, even though it is 10mp the "film size" or now the photo receptors makes a huge difference in the file size. the bigger the more detail.

Where are you getting this info from? I highly doubt this is true.

A full size sensor potentially = sharper image, less noise, etc. etc., but 10MP = 10MP = 10MP. If it's the same file format file, same type of image, exposure, colors, etc. and the same resolution, it should be relatively the same size.
