First of all hello for my first post here, I am a long time RG member but it seems extremely slow over there these days and I see a lot of familiar names who used to frequent RG.
I have been curious about the answer to this question for some time now.
1st - General statement - Larger pixels are better (less noisy) as in pro bodies.
When a lower than maximum resolution has been selected on 1DmkIIN, what is going on with the pixels on the chip. Let's use 4 mega pixels as an easy example (as opposed to 8MP). does the camera somehow combine pixels on the chip to actually create "larger pixels" or does it use every other pixel or does it do something else? I am guessing that Chuck probably knows the real answer to this question. There is nothing in any of the manuals (that I can locate) that address this question.
Thank you in advance,
Chris
