If manufacturers can produce a 24mp sensor (Nikon d3200 example) in an APS-C size how many would a Full Frame or Medium Format sensor hold?

There must be finite limitations to how many pixels you can pack into given sensor areas, a search in Google may reveal that answer or a book on digital electronics. But I do know this; Pixel packing does not always result in better images because a high pixel count on a small sensor has inferior image capture capability then a lower pixel count on a larger sensor.

Canon has just announced a 50MP full frame. Like everything else in electronics, the numbers will keep going up as technology improves. More megapixels are not always desirable though. Usually, larger megapixels give better color depth and low light performance, although even that can be offset by the camera's processor or processors.

Yes you bring up the other variable and that is the actual pixel size. Will be interesting to see how the new Canon will actually perform, because 50.6 million pixels on a Canon APS-C is really quite a limited area for so many pixels. The processor has been updated too however so we shall see !Canon has just announced a 50MP full frame. Like everything else in electronics, the numbers will keep going up as technology improves.

If spaced the same as on the APS-C, a full frame sensor would have 54 megapixels.

Thank you - how about Med Format ? 2nd ? what is the size of a Pixel and are there different sizes?If spaced the same as on the APS-C, a full frame sensor would have 54 megapixels.

Depends on the size of the cells.
If you use the cells from some of those cell-phones, about a billion!!
But would that be better? :lol:

This YouTube video addresses one of the minor problems of tightly-packed pixels: enhancing diffraction (at 7:05 min).
