It occurs to me that detail and resolution are not always analogous. For instance, I can see the sharpness of the details better with the output of a higher megapixel sensor, depending on monitor, viewing distance, print parameters, etc. But, if I blow the highlights and lose the data, neither 12mp or 45mp will matter and IQ suffers.
Or is that a whole new can of worms?
Yes - when you consider the $$$$ we spend to improve IQ plus sharp, then suffer with atmosphere, shutter shake, mirror slap, subject movement etc!
