Hi everyone, now that the 6DII is rumored to have a new 26 MP sensor, how will 4 MP less pay off in lowlight IQ?
Any guesses?
Thanks in advance and kind regards

Internet says something about Fanny Adams. What is that got to do with photography.
The original 6D was indeed better in both DR, and high ISO than the 5D III. Not by much, but by noticibly. Maybe its just me, but after having been used 1D X (og) for a while, I have the perception that my former 6D also had slightly better colors than the 1D X (falling short to 1DX in High ISO however).pedro said:Hi everyone, now that the 6DII is rumored to have a new 26 MP sensor, how will 4 MP less pay off in lowlight IQ?

Don Haines said:As said earlier, I expect the 26Mp sensor to be 2 to 5 percent better, and most likely closer to the 2. Pixel peeping should not be able to detect a difference.
To sum up, it really does not matter.
The biggest factors in comparing two FF sensors would be the quantum efficiency (percentage of photons converted to electrons) and the read noise. The two sensors are too close together in time and (presumably) technology for there to be a detectable difference....Silverstream said:Don Haines said:As said earlier, I expect the 26Mp sensor to be 2 to 5 percent better, and most likely closer to the 2.

Thank you for such a nice summary!! The other unknown is of course the tech. As another brand new sensor and almost a year later, it will be interesting to see how that influences it as well. Maybe I have wishful thinking but straight out of the camera and without resizing (which can have some issues of its own) I am hoping for a 15-20% difference in better iso.
