Not very much, though. Ctein wrote about this a couple of years ago when 24MP full-frame cameras started to hit the market. You need about a 50% reduction in *linear* resolution to have an appreciable effect on noise. That's like stepping down from 24 megapixels to 6 megapixels. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
