Daniel,


Thank you for all the excellent information. I think you hinted at a couple of impacts in your last post, things that I was thinking about while reading through the entire thread. I thought one of the 'hidden' assumptions was that all pixels were designed the same way. By this I mean the circuitry of the pixel itself. If that is true then you can compare the relative performance of pixels of different size. However, I think that both the circuit design and the manufacturing processes are constantly improving. With these improvements we are seeing smaller pixels, and higher densities on the sensors, while at the same time seeing either no degradation or sometimes actual improvement in performance. Throw in micolens design changes and it becomes very difficult to compare various sensors and/or their pixels to each other.


Now I'm going to lay down for a while and get ready to shoot some soccer this weekend. []
