read about this on LL:
basically the Sensor + technology bundles four 6 micron sensor sites together to from an effective 12micron site with a total reduced res of 16Meg the goal being to improve the high ISO performance. worth the read.
my question was, being a 16meg back user with 9 micron sensors, shouldn't this affect be apparent in these 9 micron backs as well? shouldn't the larger sensors have better signal to noise, whether it is 9 or 12?
