Are there any SLR like point & shoot cameras with CCD's bigger than 2/3?

Currently just the Sony DSC-R1, but I expect more to follow.

" 21.5/14.4" This is basically the size of the CCD on a rebel XT is'nt it?

The Fuji Finepix F10/F30 models pack DSLR-sized chips and big LCD screens into a tiny P&S camera structure. They work great in low light, and best of all, they're about $300.

the fractions system is confusing me. Does the 1/1.6 CCD found on the Fuji s9000 & the Sony r1 equate to an SLR camera CCD of roughly 21/14mm?

Sony R1 is the only APS-C prosumer camera in the market now.
Fuji F10/F30 are small senser cameras with tinny 1/1.7" senseors.

21.5 x 14.4mm size is not a fairly designed size. ItÂ´s the APS-C Size. An early film standard, created by Kodak to get an improved film photography experience to consumer market. The APS film is not so well know as 35mm film size. This standard was recovered by digital manufactors due to this likeness to 35mm, specially in regards to aspect ratio.

Due to the APS market in his time, some digital newcomers used to say that APS-C format is better than full frame. This was true in the late days of film, and only in the case of consumer cameras!

The digital format donÂ´t change worlds behavior... Bigger is Better.

ovaclock;

Fractions are measured in inches and refering to the diagonal measure of the sensor. You need to convert the value to mm. IE: 2/3" = 2/3 = 0.66 inches, asssuming an inch is 25mm we got: 16.5mm as the size of diagonal measure of a 2/3" CCD used in prosumers digital cameras. To consumers the commom size is 1/1.7".
A typical full frame 35mm has a 35mm diagonal line in the 36mm x 24mm sensor.

Okay! FUJI s9000 & SONY r1.
They r supposed to be 1/1.6 CCD

Do these cameras have the same identical size CCD?

The F10 and F30 use 1/1.7 sensors, much much much smaller than the APS-C sized sensors in dSLR's.

Fuji have announced a couple of new digicams with 9MP sensors - the highest pixel count sensors yet found outside a few Digital SLRs. ... The sensor size is designated as 1/1.6", which corresponds to approximately 8mm wide by 6mm high (4:3 aspect ratio), still significantly smaller than DSLR sensors (typically something like 22mm wide by 15mm high). quote from here.

With D-SLRs and the Sony DSC-R1, sensor size is referred to as APS class (Advanced Photo System) that is 21.5mm x 14.4mm in the case of the R1. Simply put these larger sensors deliver improved picture quality. ... like the Panasonic DMC-FZ30 with a 1/1.8-inch CCD. Nothing against the companies involved; itâ��s just physics.

They are not identical.
The Sony R1 is the only camera to date that comes close to APS-C size, it is slightly smaller by a very small margin.
The S9000 uses a 1/1.6, which is considerably smaller than APS-C (it is almost a quarter of APS-C) and app half as big as a 4/3 sensor.
