pixel education please

[chauncey]

I would debate that more pixels are better than fewer ones if all pixels are created equal. What are the differences other than size?

I believe that as the amount of effective pixels increases you have have increased noise - although this is also related to the processor in the camera?

I also believe that larger pixels capure more light and you can get a better dynamic range - again, does this depend on the processor?

That may be totally left of the mark!
