So, Why FF ?

No, the pixel count is not critical. Consider a 24MP FF sensor and a 24MP APS-C sensor. The pixel count is equal. However, the pixel densities are different, and will contribute to the response characteristics of each sensor, and is certainly a critical factor in sensor specs. Your premise is worthless. Consider, it is merely your premise, and has very little basis in fact. Photonics Online News https://www.photonicsonline.com recently ran several short articles on "Understanding Resolution In Scientific Cameras" that covered a lot the questions in this thread. [ You do need to be a subscriber to access the articles. ] Then it doesnt do us non-subscribers much good. Also, judging by the nature of the content of that site, I believe an understanding of resolution in scientific cameras isnt going to help the users of consumer cameras engaged in fanciful thought exercises in this room, one iota. OK, i did some searching and found this article that covers a lot of the mechanics of the pixel size/sensitivity/resolution basics. Here's a pointer to the article: https://www.pco-tech.com/library/knowledge-base/#c1560 ~ "Pixel Size & Sensitivity" The relationship between pixel size of an image sensor and its sensitivity is discussed in detail to illuminate the reality behind the myth that larger pixel image sensors are always more sensitive than small pixel sensors. ~~ -- == Later...
