Working out ‘film back’ from sensor size ?

Once and for all, I’d really like to get the film back measurements of a couple of camera’s that I use, and to work out other ones when I get to use them.
I have a Canon HF11 and a Sanyo HD1010.

Canon:
Image Sensor 1/3.2-inch CMOS, approx. 3,310,000 pixels
Effective pixels:
Movies: approx. 2,070,000
Still images (LW): approx. 2,070,000
Still images (L, M, S): approx. 2,760,000

Sanyo:
Image sensor: CMOS sensor
Optical Sensor Size: 1/2.5" (? I think not 100% sure)
Camera effective: Still images: Approx. 4 million pixels
Number of pixels:
Movies (HD mode): Approx. 3.56 million pixels
Movies (SD mode): Approx. 2.18 million pixels

I’d really like to know how to work this out :thumbsup:

NOTE:
This is just so I know how to work it out, not vital to any matchmoves.
