If you recall, when the 10MP Pentax K10D was introduced Pentax themselves recommended the 6MP DSLRs if low noise was your priority.
Thanks for that John. I didn't know about the recommendation. That explains why I like my istD images more than the K10D..Quote:
so is it true to say that regardless of image sensor size, lower pixel density means less noise?
If there are larger, more widely spaced pixels there will be less light spillage from one to the other, less electronic "crosstalk" and less noise as they will each produce a larger signal. The signal-to-noise ratio will improve.so is it true to say that regardless of image sensor size, lower pixel density means less noise?

Well put John, so is it true to say that regardless of image sensor size, lower pixel density means less noise?

I have always thought it would happen and have been steadily collecting a fine range of A series primes, for when the great day arrives.
When I first joined this forum, one of my first posts was on the desire for a FF Pentax. I was surprised at the number of responses rubbishing the idea and saying it was not widely wanted and would not happen.
I look forward to saying, Nah-na na na nah!..Told ya so!
You won't say "Nah-na na na nah", as you will be too busy capturing/processing more detail........I have always thought it would happen and have been steadily collecting a fine range of A series primes, for when the great day arrives.

Further thoughts on this possible FF.
To use George's term "those ending with ON" (manufacturers), have both formats in their arsenal. They refer to FF as Pro cameras and cropped as begginer to semi-pro. A marketing strategy I am sure.
Why would Pentax NOT apply the same. They were very late in introducing a DSLR (istD)and may also be the last to introduce FF. I find it hard to believe that Pentax would let the big three continue to dominate the DSLR FF market as ultimately FF will be the norm. The cropped sensor product range effectively re-invented the market. With positive results I might add, as thousands of people are now using DSLR's.
Looking at Nikon, Canon and Sony, all three are registering patents for lenses, the majority are FF. Sigma etc will be happy to deal with either format, indeed its good business. So why would Pentax stay with cropped? They would sell FF, in good numbers as there is a lot of 35mm glass out there that people would use regardless of wether or not it was sharp at the edges.
Top photographers, proffessionals and the like are not the people who generate good profit for camera manufacturers, the man in the street, Joe public, the consumer does that. Yes he is influenced by the hype etc just as the world used VHS and not Betamax even though Betamax was better.
As far as Pentax are concerned, if they are not on the circuit, thay can’t compete.
Now I need a tea break,

As it says, the Zeiss lives here in Qatar. Only one sold.
Not sure if it is ever used though?

Just saw this...

So who needs FF?
IF, it happens, shall we expect more FF glass and yet more expense?
I would be interested if the high ISO is acceptable.
