There are some sensors that have mixed pixel sizes, but the eye is always going to resolve the digital noise out and leave the "blocky" fixed array. As Digital gets higher in res and lower in grain the difference just gets larger. Analogous to the problem with CG delivery ala FF, These problems will only be exacerbated when Digital content is delivered Digitally also. Even now digital goes to film and when projected has film bulge and registration weave aberrations, to soften the "look". When its all Digital, images are going to look very clinical.
