If the gear ratio is 3.00 to 1, the distance from the pinion shaft centerline to center of the pinion teeth must be 1/3 the distance of the center of the ring gear teeth to the ring gear center line.
This also means that the pinion size for a gear set that is 5.00 to 1 must be only about 1/5 the size of the ring gear.
This means that the pinion size changes with the ratio and for lower gears (higher numerically) the pinion teeth are smaller.

 Photo.net Effects of the physical size of digican sensors on performance by Bob Atkins
The Coolpix 995 with a significantly smaller sensor has to use part of the MTF curve which is lower than that used by the D30, and the Xi with the smallest sensor of all has to use almost the whole MTF curve, even the low part.
On the other hand, if size is really what one is looking for in terms of printing a hardcopy that is 4ft wide or larger, then scanning in a 4"x5" negative/transparency using a Tango scanner seems like a better route to go.
This is no contradiction, because the AF-system on a SLR is independent from the sensor size, and relies on the light flux coming in, which is dependent on the real, not the equivalent f-number.

 Portion Size: Size Matters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Size really does matter when you’re trying to lose some weight or maintain your current weight.
The portion sizes of our meals may be the reason why some of us who, despite following sound nutritional advice (i.e.eating a wide variety of foods), and putting in time and effort to include some regular physical activity, are still unsuccessful in losing those stubborn inches.
Retailers, restaurants and take-away outlets may use bigger portion sizes as a way of tempting price-conscious consumers who see bigger sizes for little extra cost as a ‘bargain’ Consumers also tend respond by buying and then eating more foods, if cheap and plentiful.

Clubhead sizes have grown from around 195cc (cubic centimeters of volume) to around 460cc in the past 12 years alone.
The U.S. Golf Association has taken so much offense at these increases in length and size that it sometimes seems to be working overtime to confound club designers and confuse consumers.
In some quarters of the industry, size and length -- as it pertains to clubheads -- is under seriously attack.

     Size Matters
    Is it a universal law that the bigger an object is, the better it is? Let's take the size of the penis and breasts as an example and go from there.
    Size probably does matter a lot for sex toys, but it would rarely be a woman's top priority in the choice of a long term mate.
    Surveys of women's attitudes to penis size regularly show that any preference women have is relatively unimportant, a good lover with a small penis is better than a selfish oaf with a large one.

    This is actually fairly amusing now that I stop to think about it, but I think I've finally figured out why, no matter how good they are or how many features today's pocket-size digital cameras have, I still can't ever stop lusting after the bigger, fancier (more expensive) cameras that are out there.

    Government is failing the US population in many ways, primarily because it's been seized by an army of industry lobbyists and corporate lawyers; but, at least in theory, government provides opportunities for public participation, oversight, and protection from the excesses of Big Business.

     TCS Daily - Size Matters
    An increasingly common diversion now used to escape from reality is to say that the size of the state doesn't matter - that what matters is what you do with the big state.
    Of course it matters what the state is doing, but sheer size is an essential aspect which is today so often overlooked.
    The size of the state matters for several reasons, one of which is the fact that everything the state does is founded upon forced and not voluntary financing.
