theroetically, shouldnt the hpx500 see deeper into the shadows than it's big brother counterparts (2000 and 3000) due to it's larger photosites(pixels in sensor)??

There are less of them on the same sized chip, so they are larger.
 
When we were in Alaska with the prototype 500, I had to try to calibrate it against an HPX2000 since that was the main camera being shot up there. In some testing I found that yes, the HPX500 appeared to be able to see a stop deeper than the HPX2000 when using comparable settings.
 
Interesting. This will help me out then. I need to shoot a lowlight jazz club performance and I was going to rent the 2000, but I think I'll stick with my 500
 
500 will do a great job, but dont expect miracles if its virtually dark. But shooting at dusk at 1/48th or 1/60th wide open I can see a lot more than my eyes.
