I never want to know them, nor the camera used.
But some people do.
Not sure what they do with the information though.

Join me for a fish dinner, I love people. Walk closer.
More mega pixels may be less expensive than purchasing multiple focal lengths and perhaps wiser monetarily, but for too many I believe it is also a form of laziness. Relying on a sensor stuffed with small but plentiful pixels to reduce legwork or composure skills is more picture taking than producing a quality image.
For me I prefer composure and avoid cropping as much as possible. I take my time and use skills that have developed over time to get the image I see when I compose from the start.
Simple math will tell you what you need to know when choosing pixel density. An example is 20 megapixel sensors will print images to 21.9x 14.6, and 100 mpxls will print to 49x 32.6. that's what they say but there is more...
The truth is that your lens also plays a big part in the outcome. I print regularly to 60 inches wide at 50 mega pixels using a TSE lens. I recently printed at that resolution with detail so fine you can see people holding their cell phone in the deepest part of a landscape image nearly two mile away.
Pixel density is less important than pixel quality, spacing and pitch. 9 times out of ten most are reducing the size of their image for social media plus never print large. You could do well with 10 megapixels if you do not crop or print big.
The result and use of your image is all that maters, so understanding pixel overkill is possible, plus the fact that you can achieve more with composure and good glass might be something more important to think about.
any image edited under two-feet wide means a 20 mega pixel sensor will be more than enough. Additionally a tilt shift lens can turn your 20 mega pixels into 50 in under a minute, an option mostly ignored.
One of the best learning methods to consider is to use only one fixed focal length each day for a week and force yourself to move forward and back to compose regardless of look vs focal length.
Understanding composure, practice, a good lenses and avoiding being a picture taker will be much more valuable than purchasing a 100 megapixel camera body that will most likely slow down your computer... and eventually be reduced to 6 mega pixels for things like magazine or social media needs...

I'd take the 24-105, if you like shooting the interior of the old Church's you'll need a short fast lens. I lived in Spain 4 years while racing MX. Where in Spain are you going?

Hand strap for short lens, neck strap for long lens attached to the lens foot.

Is this not a photographic blog. A photograph by definition is produced by the action of light on a light-sensitive material. Therefore using AI to create a new image is nothing to do with photography and should have no place on UHH.
Using AI to clean up a grainy image originally produced by the action of light on a light-sensitive material is not so clear cut.

For the Nikon owners who may be interested, they're having a four-day Refurbished sale from today through Monday. I snagged a deal on the lens I wanted not long ago from Amazon, a 24-200 for $720. Lo and behold, Nikon has the refurb for $635 including tax. Sometimes it pays to wait. 😣
And sometimes not.

Great Idea, I lost a lung in NAM and both feet are numb, can't walk over 30 yards. I made a box
with foam rubber strapped to the front of a ATV to carry lens and camera. I live out in the sticks.

Agreed! Even though my background is technically oriented, I think photography is more emotional. More emphasis should be directed towards composition not focal lengths, sensor size, yada yada blah blah.
I once read an article about one of the more famous photographers of the world when interviewed, he stated that he knew very little about the technical aspects of his equipment, settings etc. but just made the images look like what he saw in his mind.

I prefer a 10mm with a 15 round mag.

I have tried both, I'll stick with ROKU.
