I believe it has to do with the size of the lens mount. You should ask
Nikon:-). Seriously, if the noise can be controlled, the size of the
sensor becomes somewhat irrelevant.

I guess that sort of sums my feelings. I agree with Paul that I
haven't
found 6 MP inadequate, but then what have I to compare it to?
Suppose we
took a photo and wanted to crop it by some factor for display or
printing.
Assuredly a 12, 16 etc., megapixel camera will allow this to be done
with a
higher degree of (dare I say resolution) quality, than a 10MP camera,
or
than a 6MP camera.
Excuse me for being a complete dolt here. But can someone tell me what
the point of an APS-C sensor DSLR at 16 or even 12 MP is? Sincerely, I
fail to see it.
If they're going to cram 16 MP onto a chip that size, why not just
make a
24x36mm sensor?
Cheers,
