Nikon’s mid-priced camera has a 46 MP sensor. There’s little advantage of 24 over 20MP. Both brands are junk, can’t produce a 6 x 7 transparency with either one!
6x7 transparency, how twentieth century quaint! Do you shoot a Linhof AeroTechnika when you ride your Zeppelin ?

I have a Df, and it is well built, but it cannot produce a 6 x 7 transparency! (Actually, I don’t think one brand is “better” than the other, they’re just a bit different.)

Try getting the images on the sidelines of a NFL game in action with that 6x7 transparency camera. It would be interesting to see the comparisons.

But the OP referenced 20 to 24 MP as the set point for what was meant by "mid" for this discussion. Then you mixed Nikon's 46 without moving to the equivalent for Canon. Just asking for a little consistency and honesty.
The post I read referenced 20 to 24MP for both brands’ mid-priced cameras. Since this is not so in the case of Nikon, for the sake of honesty I corrected it. For the sake of consistency, I don’t care to change the topic.

I was surprised by that comment too. LOL
I think he was just kidding. Of course neither Cano nor Nikon digital cameras can make a 6x7 transparency--on film!
It was funny.

I think there is some narrow mindedness going on here. Or at least a serious lack of humor.

Actually, one can produce a 6x7 transparency, but it takes an intermediate step.

I think my question could have been better stated. Assuming comparable lenses, good composition, properly set ISO and all the other factors that go into a photo, how important is that 10-20% increase in megapixels?

Or you can use a film MF with a digital back and get either one!

I thought the nearly $4,000 850 was the 46MP camera. New definition of mid-priced. The Canon equivalent would be the 5DS R at 50MP. Which is errrr more than 46??? RWR, please help me with the math here.
The D850 is around $3,300 and the D5 around $6,500. That puts the D850 about mid way between the D5 and not owning a camera.

The mid range is the middle of the market not the middle of an unweighted range of prices.
Perspective, there are cars that sell for over $1,000,000. Is the mid-range car then $500,000?
The middle of the DSLR market is much closer to $1000 than $3,000. That is because there are more of them sold so the mean is probably close to $1,000 while the median may be lower.

And you made that decision ... OK

As tandac01 explained yesterday the actual question is, “... how important is that 10-20% (20-24MP) increase in megapixels?”
I think it’s insignificant. Anyone else have an opinion?
