Very high end professionals. Most two page spreads can be handled by 20mp to 30mp. Anything bigger is overkill and beyond what magazines can actually print in detail. For prints larger than 30" X 40" that people view from 12" away from the print, 100mp would be great. Otherwise, 20mp to 30mp would be more than adequate for probably 95% or more of us. And for some people and their "bragging rights". You know what I mean, "My camera has 100mp, and yours has only 30mp". It looks like 30mp will be the standard soon with Olympus and Panasonic going to 30mp.

One problem is that if you buy the 100MP camera, someone will come out with a 200MP camera before you have worn out the 100MP camera, then you will go nuts trying to decide whether to buy the new 200MP camera.

That is true but then the problem stems from you not the cameras.

Just a few years ago about 35mp +- people were asking the same exact question.

So the assumption is that every part of a heavily cropped image has the same image quality, dynamic range, and tone as the image as a whole? And if it has a super large megapixel count, relatively the same sharpness?

The Canon EOS R5S hasn't been announced bit according to Canon rumors and others they believe it will be ~100 mp. This looks like it is being designed with the stills photographer. My question is how large a buffer will be needed so that it doesn't stall while writing out and I would guess that CF cards will be required. I don't believe that the Sony is made for the same market. Canon has been talking about a large sensor 80+ for a while. The R3 in development isn't the large megapixel and the R1 which will be the flagship hasn't had the specs leaked. If you look at past Canon flagship bodies they have not been high pixel counts.

The main camera (out of 5) on the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G has 108 mp as well as a 40 mp selfie, a 12mp ultra wide and two 10 mp telephoto cameras with I believe 10x and 30x ranges.

Not the same thing. These are very small sensors compared to full frame sensors. I did read yesterday that Sony or Samsung is coming out with a 1 inch sensor but still not a 35mm equivalent.

It is possible that with time the cost of more megapixels will go down the way computer chips went down in price?
What is the tradeoff in dollars, weight, etc. between cropping to a faraway object or heavy expensive lenses?
Would the same charge-coupled device also be useful in telescopes or microscopes?
Take a picture of something moving fast and have it someplace in the picture?

And from looking at the metadata, the iphone 7 did a pretty good job of it @ 9.5mega pixels.

w/ parmesan?
I am locally famous, even notorious, fot Parmesan. I carry a jar with me, pre blended with garlic powder and charissa.
Be sitting at the bar eating Mac and Cheese and very often someone says it smells so great that they’re going to order it. I explain, show my jar, and welcome them to some for their dish.
Every Sunday AM I go out for sausage, butter, parmesian mix, butter, English muffins, and butter. Did I mention the butter ? Oh I did ? It takes a whole lotta lotsa butter to hold all that cheese onto the muffins (or popcorn) and sausage patty (too hard to get grated cheese to cling to links).
Food iis essentially just a foundation for supporting cheese. Below you can see The Notorious Jar. The additives cause some clumping and a darker color.
Now, aren’t you glad you asked ?

Kodak found a market for Panatomic-X, even though Tri-X had a far higher demand. There have always been photographers seeking higher resolution.
