How do S50 pics compare with G2's

Hi all,

I know the S50 offers 1 extra mega-pixels, but I wonder how the result compare with G2 results, especially in low light (200-400 ISO).

I should have added
"at 400 ISO"
to the title.

The G2/G3 and S50 sensors size being the same, the S50 pixels must be smaller.
Smaller pixels => get less photons.
less photons => less sensitive to light

Am I wrong somewhere?

Back in the old time - last year -, I used to shoot 100% of my pics on 400 ISO BW or colour film.
Came the digital revolution, and 400 ISO means noise, and quality is pronounced "50 ISO".
