It depends on what you mean by "framed identically". A 10MP sensor, no matter what the physical size, that contains the same extents of the image will have the same number of "pixels" covering the same image area. It's just that the focal length of the lense will have to differ, or the position it's shot from will have to differ. But, if you mean standing in the same position using the same focal length between the two...then sure, but the image extents will be entirely different. It's not really IMO a useful "argument". > More pixels means more detail of smaller parts of > the image. Which means the sensor cells are smaller...which typically gives less dynamic range, and smaller cell size typically means more noise. Typically, larger sensor cells give better overall image quality.
