The sensor is probably dated and optimised for x-rays


probably not.


I stated the reasons for that opinion in that that you snipped. You're
dead wrong, of course! :-ppp


it's for normal visible light photography, *not* x-rays, which means
*you* are wrong.

while it may be easier to carry, it has much smaller pixels, therefore
much higher noise.

yes.

I seriously doubt it.


then you don't understand physics.

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.

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.

it means quite a bit.

sort of, but you're ignoring that it also captures *significantly* more
light.

yes.

false.

Once again, you are wrong. Do the math, then come back with the same BS.

i've done the math, as have many others.

simple example: 12 mp cellphone camera versus 12mp full frame slr.

you're wrong.

tl;dr size matters.

You are right. Cell size does matter for shot noise.

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?
