The smaller sensor tends to be less sharp because you have to magnify it more to reach the same image size as the bigger sensor.
Nah. It\'s not that.
Sensor size affects noise but not sharpness.
Take a look at these Imaging Resource tests, for example, between the 40D and the new G11.
Both have 10mp sensors but the 40D sensor has 9x larger area than the G11.
Sharpness is the same. The G11 is maybe even slightly sharper.
There\'s something about the 7D sensor.
I think Roland Lim is correct when he says that the 7D is lacking micro-contrast.
The difference between the 7D and 5DII in his test is quite striking, btw.
