                      seriously! , 09 Jul 2011smaller pixels without loss of quality!!!! THAT I HAVE TO ... moreyour camera has no back-side illumination (BSI) technology. That's why this Toshiba sensor is smaller.. yet same or better efficiency at collecting light.

                                  This is a joke, right? Smaller pixels = worse quality! We need bigger sensors and bigger pixels, not smaller.

                                      facts:
                                      1.bigger sensor means higher quality,
                                      2.higher pixel density means lower quality(in sensor, not display)
                                      3.sensor's pixel count can be increased,(just like overclocking a processor), making the pixels much denser(crammed), lowering the image quality, resulting a bigger but blurry/noisy picture. HTC phones are great example
