You could put it that way.


One other thing: The noise comparisons between different bodies with the same size sensors (e.g., APS-C, like the 40D vs 50D) but different pixel densities do show a marked difference in noise for the same shutter speed, aperture and ISO. A lot depends upon the sensor technology, as well, i expect, plus the internal processing by the camera.
