Well, it's the same thing as taking 35mm shots with a medium format or large
format lens. Pixel sizes have arrived at a point, where they would (start to)
benefit from higher resolving power. If the lenses in the "prosumer" digitals
will really give this increased resolution is another question. I cannot imagine
what they could do to increase image quality besides increasing the resolution
of the lens. If it's the angle of the light falling on the chip, how would
they avoid that with different optics?
