No, APS sensors are typically 20-28mm in size with a diagonal around the 24-30mm mark. That's why they call them crop sensors....they're a certain crop factor smaller than a full frame (35mm equ') sensor. There's a couple of different sizes of APS sensors...C and H sized. C size sensors are your most common. Nikon C sized sensors tend to be larger than the equivalent Canon make and H sized sensors are larger than both.
Any camera, whether its a CCD or DSLR, if it has a full sized sensor (35mm equ', or even larger) it will cost a lot more than the equivalent APS camera. They cost more when it comes to chip manufacture and the added electronics.
