They talk about small sensors but high megapixels. MP's So to me its like they are talking about shooting Panatomic X or other slow films. Smaller pixel grabbers equals smaller clumps of silver in a way. But the thing is also.... Slow film is slow. ISO 25 to 50. When connotes not being able to use any but the slowest ISO's when you use the smaller sensors.
