For a given pixel size, you have various noise sources, and you have the photon collection efficiency of the sensor. As the sensor becomes larger, the photon collection efficiency increases much faster than the noise does. http://firmitas.org/Sensor.html http://firmitas.org/Sensor.html Quote: "The size of a pixel directly impacts how much noise an image will have in low light, and in some cases even in daylight. The bigger the pixel is, the lower the noise because more photons can reach a bigger pixel sensor."
