It seams obvious to me that someone that understands the advantage of a FF sensor should understand why less pixels also means less noise. If one looks at how well the D3 is doing compared to the Mark III, one understands that for serious consumers, image quality is more important than numbers.
I hope that the samsung people will understand that too!
until, of course, the bombshell that is Sony's 24mp sensor drops, and astounds the world with it's clarity, and lights fires under every other manufacturer's arses to catch up..
