This query is triggered by the constant issue of Panasonic FZ cameras always having the noise issue, but Panasonic refuses (or is unable) to resolve it, yet keeps pushing the megapixel count in a same-sized sensor.
Since increasing the magapixel count on a same-sized sensor will worsen the noise issue, would setting the pixel count on an 8MP camera with major noise issues to say, 5MP, reduce the noise problems significantly? Would the whole sensor surface be used as a 5MP sensor or would only a 5MP part of the 8MP sensor be used?
Am I making sense here? Hahaha!
