Answer: a mirrorless camera measures 13 cm (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, a hard-shell taco at 15 cm.
Dropping the mirror box let camera bodies shrink by about a third.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a mirrorless camera when it sits beside a hard-shell taco — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a game controller measures 16 cm (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a hot dog at 15 cm.
Controller width has hardly moved since the 1990s — hands did not get bigger.

Answer: a 55-inch television measures 1.2 m (length / span), which is about 1.4× smaller than the reference, a road bicycle at 1.8 m.
A 55-inch TV is 55 inches corner to corner; across the front it is only about 1.2 m.

Answer: a desktop computer tower measures 45 cm (height), which is 1.2× as big as the reference, a PlayStation 5 at 39 cm.
Tower cases are sized around the motherboard, a standard barely changed since 1995.
