Do you really need more than 20MP??

20 MP in the right hands will be a whole lot better than 45MPin the wrong hands.

When I'm shooting airshows or wildlife, those cameras with the 24ish megapixels show their limits. I may get reasonable 'online sizes' that fill a digital frame, but those crops wouldn't print to larger sizes.
Go for it. You only live once.

Hanging my head in shame after all the money I have spent over the past year for mirrorless equipment, I must admit I am still am suprised at times by pictures from the 7 year old Sony RX100 V which I bought my wife. Definitely still like it better than the latest phones.

20MP is good enough for me.
I agree. I have several photos made with 12 and 24MP cameras. I am satisfied with the results of both.

Only if there is something with which to compare.
Individuals, not so much.

Here's an update on Gabby cat, presented in a quick review of details of a 20MP cropped sensor pocket camera...
I consider my current Sony a6500 mirrorless APS-C camera, which does 24.2Mp, as being more than adequate for serious amateur/semi-pro type of work, which I do. Just my opinion, but it's based on over 60-years of photographic experience.

Sure, but I don't make prints large enough to see any difference from a normal viewing distance. I shoot a wall hanger on occasion, but the biggest prints of my photos in my house are 12x18.

That's a sweeping statement. By "certain prints" do you mean 30x20s and larger? after heavy cropping by a photographer who doesn't have the expertise to fill the frame? and likes to stick his nose on the glass?

It all depends on what you are shooting. If you have a dark venue, no tripod, nearly continuous motion and very little time, the smaller sensor will work just great. If you are shooting something still and mounted on a tripod with no motion and a clear day, then the bigger sensor will work. Time dictates the amount of data one can capture on a sensor.
A friend just made the comment that he would love a camera with a 7MP capacity because his photos are all action, indoors, with limited lighting and quick capture times. We all laughed.
