Yup - my mistake, but the sensor area is still comparable? The 16C uses the 429AQ I think, the 16 using the 429AL - the 16ICC uses the 424AQ and the 16IC the 424AL
But on the 412, that pixel size is scary, no? 3.45 microns square is making for a bit of an awkward beast to focus... and still a small sensor area too. Whatever, as you say, it's good to see more camera manufacturers - the likes of SBIG and SX have had it their own way for too long
