But they sit further back. That is, the light hitting a larger sensor, further back, ends up with the same lux.
The only advantage that I can see would be born out of manufacturing limitations of pushing sensor elements in close together. IOW, the space between sensor elements potentially becomes large as pixels become super tiny.
But, if that is an issue, certainly FF would be soon bettered by FFx2, then FFx4 ... that sickness can get out of hand. FWIW, I had an engineering design gig for a film photographer - a 16x20 inch negative film holder and camera.
Considering the impressive performance out of some tiny sensors, even on cell phones shooting HD video, I think that chasing larger sensors is a fools errand, as the size of the sensor is not driving the quality of the sensor.
