A camera with a sensor bigger than 8 by 10 inches??!!

S/N has more parameters than just pixel size. so what? the dominant factor for noise is pixel size. larger pixels collect more light. basic physics. whtas you're realy intrested in is the ratio NOT the amount of noise. It is far better to have a larger sensor even if you pick up more noise than a small sensor picking up noise that is why noise is defined as a signal to noise ratio. the 12mp 8x10 camera has 75 micron pixels. those are *huge*. its base iso is 2100, versus a base iso of 100-200 on a typical slr. Doesn't mean much though does it. It;s lioke saying a 2 1/1 square neg will collect more dust than a 35mm slide. https://www.dpreview.com/files/p/art...eSense-Sensor- Size-Comparison-x800.jpeg size matters. full frame sensors have about a stop less noise than crop sensors, which have about a stop less noise than micro 4/3rds, which have a lot less noise than compact cameras and certainly cellphone cameras, which have tiny sensors and very aggressive noise reduction (which works fairly well, but not without compromise). So a bigger sensor means less noise for the same sensor type. Nospam ignores the fact that his reply to my comment was comparing _cameras_, not the noise level of a single sensor cell. At 12mp, the final output of that 8x10 camera will not produce an image with the same linearity and gradation accuracy of a camera with a much smaller sensor but two times as many pixels. So, the inevitable errors in the final image is also "noise", and more relevant than what the individual sensor cell can capture because it's the image that one looks at, not the sensor cell's noise level. -- best regards, Neil |

So a bigger sensor means less noise for the same sensor type. yes. |

I don't think that has anything to do with it, noise IS defined as unwanted signal in the device and associated circuitry. Do you mean you are happy with shot noise? -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
