26.4mp 5D Mark III Mid-year? [CR1]

Here's an example with both quantitative and qualitative information: Super Small, Sub 2μm Pixels for Novel CMOS Image Sensors, G.Agranov, R.Mauritzson; S.Barna, J.Jiang, A.Dokoutchaev, X.Fan; X.Li, in Proc, 2007 International Image Sensor Workshop, Ogunquit, Maine, USA June 7-10, 2007.

Great find.

Personally, I like best the image with 2.2 um pixels. To me it looks like their technology scales best around that size. The image with the 1.75 um pixels has too much noise and too much edge bleeding.

It's odd that although all the sensors are theirs, the colors are so different.

Also, in spite of their comment that "in spite of a large difference in the pixel area, image quality and low light sensitivity of the sensors with these smaller pixels is comparable with a 5.6μm pixel-based imager." I find that the low-light image with the 5.6 um pixels looks much worse than the one with 2.2 um pixels.

Well 5Dm2 pixel size is 6.4µm, 7D - 4.3µm.
Question: What this paper means to us?

I mostly use just the central focus point... all the other are just used to confirm focus on ladnscapes.

But don't complain about dodgy metering. With advice like that its no surprise people think of ETTL as a game of chances...
