Well, the picture would be just as sharp, but not at the pixel level.
Dynamic range, at lower ISOs, could be killer.


How do you figure that? Each photosite is only 2.1 µm in size.


There you go then, you have answered your own question.
Pixel race gone mad.

Still, I am curious to see what they can wring out of such a pixel count.
Just for the novelty factor. This thing could be the ultimate lens test

effect, with good DR.
