My question had to do with equal size sensors. Full
size sensors would, of course, allow more room and
therefore, larger pixels and less noise.
Both sensors being equal in size, at what point would
a more compacted (greater pixel count) sensor lose its
advantage by yielding an additional and offsetting
amount of noise. Developing technology
notwithstanding.
