The optical impact of sensor size is a mixed bag, but the impact of sensor size on noise is clear: it’s a “true fact” that the smaller the sensor size the more noise. But noise processing is getting so much better that noise is becoming less of an issue. (For a related story, see Noise as a Historical Artifact.)
