That is simply not true. Before you question the contributions by a member here it might be a good idea to actually look at their profile and review a few of the threads they have started. The member you are criticizing is one of our best.

As for his posts here, I find the humor to be refreshing on these tedious threads where people are taking themselves a little too seriously.

Have you found the images that inspire you the most always have the most pixels?

I have many pics from Yosemite dating back to the late 1800's in my records. I became a bit obsessed with Yosemite by seeing Ansel's photos while in college (RIT) in Rochester, NY.

My first trip to Yosemite was 1974, I believe. 35 mm film and a wife that had a health condition restricting her ability to get outside of a wheelchair to explore Yosemite much beyond the parking lot of each roadside stop. Much of the park, I could not see. Much, much later, I went there to take photos replicating my earlier pictures as well as my first photos of Mirror Lake, etc. that could not be seen in earlier visits to the park. And, I sought higher resolutions to see images of places I saw in photos of Ansel and others dating back to about 1880 made on formats as large as 8"x10" film of many "classic" views of Yosemite.

So, I will post a photo of Yosemite Valley, seen from the 'Tunnel Overlook'. My photo is 2019 with a D850 (45.6MP) and a Tokina 24-70 zoom at 70 mm. I researched many things about Yosemite before planning and booking this trip. I researched the weather - number of cloudy days/rainy days, etc. I'd been there 6 times before, but never had the chance to get out of the car and walk one of the trails or take photos other than roadside stops.

My photo was one of 50 or so images, 70 mm. El Capitan on the right, complete with early May waterfalls pouring out of the walls of the sheer cliffs and trees on the mountain top. To the far right, Bridalveil Falls and the mountains above with their trees clearly visible. Plus, more waterfalls and Half Dome wearing a cloud Sombrero. This image is clear and crisp. I waited for the best position for the sun and the passing cloud cover for about 1 1/2 hours to get my image. And I didn't mention the bird circling Yosemite Valley, far above the Valley floor.

I will show a size/resolution specific image plus small "highlights" of the trees on the right/left mountain tops, the waterfalls, flying predator, etc. that people can not see at the UHH image resolution.

Again, this is a Nikon D850, 45.6 MP image, Tokina 24-70 zoom at 70 mm.

So, I bought a 'Classic Camera' that I felt demanded that I live up to the capability of the camera's images. I was responsible for buying lenses that matched the resolution of the D850 camera's sensor and could produce an image equal to the lens and sensor. (No, I do not believe that anyone else should put themselves to the same yardstick of measure for their images.)

Many people are happy with their pictures that are not this resolution or require this quality/price of lens. And, I do not fault them - especially compared to you. If they are happy with what they have done, I am happy for them, also. Time to grow up???

Advertising and fashion, industrial, scientific, landscape, micro/macro, sports, you name it - anything you'd use a camera for - provided one has the very best lenses to use with either one. BTW, one is 45mp, the other is 61.

As a longtime pro that has shot all subjects around the world for the past 48years as a photojournalist, I agree.

No one knows for sure what the megapixels will be for the Canon R5S and R1, or Sony A7RV. Rumors have them anywhere from 45mp to 102mp. It is a fact that Canon is developing a 100mp sensor, and Sony is developing a 102mp sensor, both for fullframe mirrorless cameras.

FYI, I currently own 61MP Sony A7RIV, and 50mp Sony A1, and 12mp video-centric Sony A7SIII, and 12 E-mount lenses of quality to resolve those sensors ,from 10mm to 600mm from Sony, Sigma Art and Tamron.

Hi Paul, I am also a fellow RIT grad, class of 1975. Here is my shot of the Tunnel View of Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park, taken in early March 2020. Sony 61mp A7RIV camera, Sigma Art 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN lens, 50mm, ISO 100, f4, 1/500 sec. (left) El Capitan, (center, background) Half Dome with a rising moon, (right) Bridalveil falls. A week later, the Valley was covered by snow. Click on download to see the resolution you can get from a high megapixel camera sensor, even with UHH compression

Cheers and best to you.

Fascinating how we can shoot the same subject and get dramatically different results. Thanks for sharing yours.

What nobody has much said is that photo paper will only "catch" about 225 DPI no matter what you throw at it - and video screens much less

Nobody much says it cuz nobody much likes to consider reality. They prefer "lab test review" results. And besides, most Hogsters print nine feet wide, where lab tests and reality are more closely aligned.
