EOS300D vs EOS400D

Hi All,
Difficult to get an exact answer on this subject, as CMOS and CCD can not be directly equated, however the fact that the larger surface area of any sensor will make it more sensitive still stands, getting the photons of light to CMOS sensors is another matter, and the microlenses in front of each sensor play a big part in the net result of their sensitivity, as does the method of charge transfer, Canon say these both have been improved in the EOS400D making it a more efficent light collector (light imput vs time) seems the proof of the pudding will be in results.

Pixel size- Canon D1- 11.8 u -2.62 Mp

Pixel size- Canon D30- 10.1 u - 3.1 Mp

Pixel size- Canon 300D- 5.1 u - 6.5 Mp

Etc. Etc.

regards...............Jim
