Does small sensor/pixel has an upper limit of dynamic range?
It is from a friend that I heard:
Cellphone cameras, due to their small sensor size, can have at most 11 stops of dynamic range
(I did not ask too much about where that came from or what source is ...

Digital compact cameras have substantially smaller sensors offering a
similar number of pixels. As a consequence, the pixels are much
smaller, which ...
