Right now there're a slew of 16 and 24mp sensor based cameras in the market, with more to follow, like D5200, D400 etc...
Basically they are all Sony sensors.
DXO has reviewed these sensors, and in general, the newer 24mp sensor is found to be better overall, and even in low light performance.
Review sites seem to be on the same page as well.
I find it hard to believe, because i have inspected images from these cameras (A65, D5100, A57, D3200) and found the 16mp images to be cleaner in low light...
I can see noise and grain even in ISO 100 images of 24mp sensors, ISO 400 definitely noisier, and 800 being very noisy. 16mp images also show noise, but 1600 ISO is relatively cleaner.
Don't know what's going on?
Dpreview recently gave same scores to both D800 as well as Mark III...???
sensors are getting better??
