You are right about the sensor noise but the pixel size ratio of G1 to D30
is much larger than E-300 to E-1, the degrade of the resolution/quality of
the image due to higher pixel density in E-300 is not that much. Although
you will see it at high ISO but at ISO200 or below the effect of noise is
not very obvious.
