Quarter-full sensor for m4/3?

I believe his original point is that he wants a better type of sensor that does a "clean" 6MP versus the current 12MP. I think it was a honest thought in request but there are many other factors (sensor dynamics, optics, sensor size, converters, software, etc.) that contribute to the output beyond just the sensor type and there in lies the "misunderstandings."

I don't believe most people were trying to be rude or disagree with you in principle. They were merely explaining that you can't "chop" a Sony Alpha FF sensor into 1/4 and expect the out put to be the exact same. If that were true then no one would buy the higher end A900 if they could get the same look from an A230.

Excellent summary, thank you. :)
