I'm a professional video cameraman, and I've been using CCD imaging sensors
since they first became commerically available (replacing tubes) in the late
1980s. There has been an unbelieveable evolution of the technology in a very
short time. Today's video cameras have a full five to seven stops better
sensitivity (compared to their brethren of 10 years ago) at the same noise
levels. It may be true that full frame will always have an advantage over a
smaller sensor, but it will become increasingly less important as the
technology continues to progress. I wouldn't count DX out just yet...
