There is something cool about size. It is true that size matters and not all numbers are equal..

What does that mean? Humm, let’s say engineers have been, and are, pushing the limits of physics for years and while they can put more and more pixels into a “pre-defined” area, I am talking about the size of a full frame sensor for digital cameras, we are at a point where we should ask the question:

Should more pixels be cramped into a referenced size sensor, or should the sensor of “standard” SLR get bigger.?

I often find that after a session shooting with my Hasselblad, there is something more than just the number of pixels. I have played around with full frame SLRs doing up to 36 mega pixels and when it comes to comparing the size or the image on the screen. Nothing beats a big sensor.

Leica has shown with their Leica S that for a form factor not bigger than a D-SLR, it is possible to put in a larger sensor and a wider dynamic range..
