Interesting article. I just wish there wouldn't be ANOTHER size coming up from left field... Full Frame and Cropped is enough!
Oooops... !! Canon has a third one, don't they?...

Actually the Canon 1.3 crop APS-H was one of the sensor sizes included in his article. That was very interesting.

Really puts into perspective why the megapixel wars were really not about quality but about sales. Give the uninformded masses a higher number and they will buy. Pixel packing is really an enemy.

I was glad to see the example of the downsizing of pixels with the Canon G11.

I love my 5D full frame. There is an obvious difference in IQ over my 40D. I still love the 40D but it doesn't get as much usage as the 5D these days because the IQ difference is so dramatic.
