In fact I don't get why they don't just use that large sensor on everything, how much more could it really cost, why are so many models not using it? I wish they did it would make my choice much easier. So yes I can just get the 4 MP 1/1.8 Starlight and call it good. Or the eureka thermal...

Why did they not do a 1/1.8 sensor instead of 1/2.7? Seems like a total no-brainer on a camera for the dark!
