Won't a higher pixel density kill high ISO performance? The 5D Mark II is inferior to the Nikon D700 in this regard...

dilbert said:The 5D Mark 2 had approximately the same pixel density as the Canon 20D. The performance of the 5D Mark2's sensor was marginally better than the 20D in most tests, according to dxomark graphs.
Canon's next sensor with more MP was the 40D.
If you take the pixel density from the 40D and apply that to the 5D, you end up with about 28MP (allow for rounding error.)
The real question will be if the sensor performance of the 5D3 will be a "drop" from the 5D2 as the 40D was compared to the 20D. Or maybe Canon will have improved the sensor somewhat since then....
Why implement noise-reduction, when they could reduce noise-genesis using larger pixels? Along the way, DR would increase too. 8)remy.brooks said:I understand that this is more of a studio camera than a sport camera but i hoped canon would only increase the megapixels to 24 and put better noise reduction and continuous shooting at 6/7 frames per second. Does anyone know the pricing for this camera?
MichaelB said:This might be too soon to ask but does anyone know estimate price on 5d mark III body when it comes out? is it gonna be $4000 body or should we expect same price around what mark ii is now?
Thanks 8)
p.s. I personally think its gonna cost an arm and a leg
