>>3140420It's pretty much knows fact that Canon use 500nm transistors for most of their sensors. You can look up articles from
Chipworks.com which documentation of this with scans of the chips.
You can actually apply a little bit of math to see how significant the differences is.
5Dm3 has a pixel pitch of 6.25 microns.
That means the distance from pixel center to pixel center is is 6250 nanometers.
Canon use 500 nm transistor gates in the 5Dm3.
If you assume the metal wall between each pixel is just 1 transistor wide(!!! It's not)
Then the wall between two pixels would already fill 12,5% of the length, that means roughly 88% pixel, 12% wall. That's a huge waste there already.
Then furthermore if you consider that the 500nm is not actually a measurement of a whole transistor, but just the transistor Gate, then the mental wall will suddenly be much more than 12%.
Then furthermore if you consider that the metal wall between each pixel consist of more than 1 transistor, it suddenly becomes significantly more than mere 12%.
Don't listen to the moron
>>3140422 who claims full frame sensors only benefit 1% from these upgrades. He's obviously a lunatic who never dabbled into the math of this.
