Why can't DSLR's "bin" or combine pixels to get better low light performance? Too much junk electronics around the pixels? I see no improvement in noise or sensitivity when I use a lower megapixel count.
Why would you want an APSc low light Sony sensor? Full frame is always lower in noise because of the larger collection area. Its about 1-2 stops better due to this (not an exact thing as different chips have different efficiencies). So if say Sony reduced that full frame 12mp A7s sensor down to APSc it would straight away be more noisy.
