Noisier I would assume. If they are going to increase the number of pixels, they should increase the sensor size along with it. Thats one of the reasons I lust after a 10Mpixel full frame sensor but the cost is out of reach by far at this point....

All of the sample photographs released so far have been pretty terrible though. They are producing an 8mp sensor that is the same size as the old 5mp sensor and it shows in the quality of the photographs. http://www.dpreview.com has lots of threads on this new camera if you look in the Sony Forum. alex
