For the two weeks between my surgeries I became a pirate. I picked up an eye patch as soon as I was released to cover the still bad left eye. At night I would switch it to the repaired eye to avoid rubbing it.

I even gave one of my friends the job of my first mate, giving him 3 simple tasks...find me a ship, a crew and 3 busty wenches (blonde, brunette and redhead). He did none of that so he had to walk the plank.

The only problem with this was that I completely lost my depth perception seeing thru only one eye. I kept missing doorknobs by about a foot.

My cataract surgery on one eye was yesterday, recovering today. The cost of the upgraded lenses, in my eyes, has put a hold on my new camera body purchase. ( Please excuse any strange keyboard or spelling messups. Working with altered vision today.)
This led me back into the rabbit hole of why I want a new body (cause I'm not 18 anymore?).

I shoot mostly wildlife and of that mostly birds.very often from a moving platform, a boat.

From what I have been reading high pixel cameras are more sensitive to camera movement. This got me wondering about the 90d I have been lusting after. At 32 megapixels its equal to a full frame at 51 megapixels. I'm also trying to avoid more high iso noise. For wildlife, for me, speed is king.

This got me looking over the older 1D offerings with H size sensors.

I crop often, ok almost always, and sometime big crops.
So I'm wondering about pixel density and print image size. But the normal thoughts of 300 dpi for high quality printing a 16.1. Mp image (canon 1D 1V H. Sensor) would print a max image of 4896 x 3264 or 16.3"x10.8" but. We also know that for larger printing 300 dpi may not be necessary. Cropped at 50% would be 8x5. Of for web but not so good to print?

So I guess the question is, at what point does "blowing up" an image does an image begin to soften due to pixelation?

Along the same line.
I had a thought the other day when PS wanted to Rastorize (sp?) an image because of something I tried to do. (Still learning)
When an image is rastorized isn't that like the digital equivelant of a "line type" image? Would restorizing help to preserve detail if an image is being enlarged?

Thanks
Bill
