[quote name='Class A' timestamp='1315178574' post='11303']Sony produce the incredibly low in noise 16.3MP sensor and I don't see why they would have forgotten everything about sensor design just because they increased the pixel pitch.[/quote]
I downloaded two (ISO 800 and ISO 1600) A77 studio shots from Imaging Resource and used RAW Developer 1.9.2 for conversion (default settings). At 100% this looks darn noisy to me and I´m not living in an anti-Sony camp. Either the Raw conversion is really bad or the 24 MP sensor simply does not excel in this regard.
