Right.
However, if everythign stays the same, and only the pixel sensors on the chip shrink, it does increase.
And, in the Canon S series, unless I am mistaken, the camera is the same size, so the chip has to be the same size, uinles they change lens. In any case, the chip is going to be darn close to the same size.
I want to know which generations had a new technology to reduce noise, etc...
