That's where you need to ask yourself what you will be using the images for? Even a billboard sized image doesn't need to be 50MP because the larger a picture is the further back you will have to stand to view it properly. It would be absolutely pointless to have an image that size with details that sharp.

wrong on all accounts

Really dude? No statements to back yourself up with? I have both extensive photography and print experience so "wrong" doesn't cut it with me. Go take your fake picture and snotty attitude somewhere else.

I had thought that this topic was going to be dead. Funny to see that it kind of recently had a couple more posts. lol

I am not trying to restart this argument. But thinking about it I came to a conclusion. That is that it's still not about the MP with the mid-format cameras that give them their clarity. It's the size of the sensor. the number of MP is not the important thing. From the things said on this thread you could have a mid-format with the same MP as a 35 mm digital camera and still have a clearer picture because of the size of the sensor.

But this also doesn't change the fact that if you have a crappy sensor, lens or processor then you're pictures will still look like garbage. If you have a poorly set up mid-format system and a really good set up for a 35 mm system then you will get better pictures from the 35 mm. Unless they put to many MP for the size of the sensor. But who knows. Technology is advancing and there is no telling how many more MP they will put into either type of camera.
