No.
The 7D is worse than the 40D at the pixel level but I have not measured exactly how much worse.
If the 7D has 1.4x more noise at the pixel level, there\'s zero noise advantage from downsizing.
Ever heard of 100% coverage microlenses?
Yes. What about them?
The 50D has them too - and the the pixel level, where microlenses are applied (you see, you don\'t apply a single microlens to a 50D image), the 50D is worse than the 40D.
