Low light & noise

X70

4.8 µm pixels

16.3 MP on a aps-c sensor, ISO up to 6,400

GR II

4.8 µm pixels

16.2 MP on a aps-c sensor, ISO up to 25,600

Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:
