mentioned signal:noise ratio in relation to pixel size. In a nutshell, the
larger the pixel, the better the image quality as a greater signal can pass
through it (within reason I suppose!). The smaller the pixels within a
given chip, theoretically the quality deteriorates as the noise:signal ratio
is higher.
True, but technology advances, who knows what is being developed.....or held back?

Imagine 3 4x4k chips sandwiched like the foveon and in a small body, with vibration stabilisers and lens shift, lets face it you dont need to house a 35mm cassette or 120 film roll (stupid invention that was) or even a large mirror housing.
