Thanks for the reference info. Your last comment re getting 16" away to look for flaws is, I think, what most people think of when the question resolution comes up. Of course, it's unrealistic. I think it's a little like owning the fastest car...you can't use it...you are just happy you have it.
Thank you

David,
The quality of your large print looks very good to me.

I realize many of you are going to laugh at me, but, just for fun I now and then use my trusty Sony DSC770 (1.3mp with a pretty sharp lens) and can make 8X10 prints which from a couple of feet away look just fine. Right, if I get very close the sharpness is not there, but again, from a couple of feet they look OK.

You are caught up in the same mentality as the USA and Russia have been moronically fighting about when it comes to nuclear weapons. As Carl Sagan put it; the two leaders are standing knee deep in a room filled with gasoline. Each has 1000 matches and each is concerned that they do not have enough. The D750 is a great camera. Mine still amazes me as to what it can do. You got a camera that will produce a print like you got and at the same time it is the second best low light shooter in the Nikon line up; one stop less than the king, the D5. And it does it at 24mp. Knowing that as a camera's MP go up, it's low light shooting goes down. That why the D8XX series cameras fail so in high ISO, low light shooting. So you can get the shots like your 40 X 60 print and still have a low light champ. The D850 will not be good at all in this area. So my advise is to leave the gas to it's business after a meal of broccoli, beans and sulfur eggs and put that over three grand into some nice pro glass.

Thank you.

It has really helped me to pose this question. Thanks for your response. The gasoline analogy really drives it home.

Thanks

It sounds like unless technology comes up with something revolutionary, we have arrived at a point where most advantages result in compromises in other areas. Thanks.
