George as a person who has shot mini formats as well as 8x10 film you are
area of what "real estate" means in film directly.
There is not a direct coronation to it in digital imagining. As to why a
bigger format is better in digital as well.
But pixel pitch size is a basic issue which is very close to THE basic
issue.
As basic if not more so than the amount  of pixels. MP's
And defines the reason why you'd want the biggest sensor as possible in the
first place. Other than depth of field issue and the coverage area much
closely matching your lens in the 24x36 format.
Why IS IT that you get 5 or more f stops more ISO's with 24x36 than you do
over 23x15?
Shooting 35mm film does not make it so you can shoot 5 times height ISO's
than half frame film. Yet in digital it does.
