[filmscanners] Re: Newish Digital Tech
But wouldn't the same 'smallness' apply to quantum/heat effect driven noise?
The smaller the capture unit, the more units will capture a particular heat
generated event.

What leads me to believe that the limiting factor is the actual photon shot
noise is that there appears to be a correlation between the noise level of a
CCD and the smallness of its pixels.
