[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 303993, member: 24753"] “The Itty-bitty Pixel Versus the Earthquake” would have been a better title. Not sure I started with the right example either. I mentioned the DX sensors because being the same size sensor; a 24.2MP sensor would have smaller pixels than a 12 MP sensor. The focus of my thought is related only to pixel size and the light that is aimed at a pixel. Thinking from the viewpoint of a point of light that is moving from the subject and essentially aimed at a single pixel on a sensor: Any camera movement, while the shutter is open, causes light aimed at the single pixel to hit multiple pixels. Now thinking of smaller pixels, the same camera movement would spill the light that is aimed at the single pixel into a larger number of neighbor pixels. Just thinking this may contribute to some images not looking like the resolution of the camera. [/QUOTE]
