TL/DW - Larger format cameras have less noise because they have larger diameter openings per equivalent f stop of smaller sensor lenses. Either you believe larger openings let in more light or you do not. Enjoy!

Here are some great articles I used in preparing this video. (Side note, there are actually a few articles out there from respected sources who get this wrong, so buyer beware!)

Roger Clark of Clark Vision has an amazing article explaining it, some of his writing can be technically deep, but its all here. GREAT info: http://www.clarkvision.com/articles/d...
