I think a better description of how a small CCD uses a 35mm lens, is "as
if you used a 'doubler' or 'tripler'" with the lens. What you get is the
lens resolution associated with only using part of its field-of-view. Most
would claim this is not a significant issue with Nikkor lenses and only 6M
pixels. I also cannot imagine a smaller CCD benefitting from all the light
gathering ... I rather imagine the D1 firmware compensating. It would be
intersting to compare the EXIF acquisition data with the appropriate
exposure settings for the same lens and 35mm film.
