Nickaroo, sorry to hear about your health. As long as we are healthy, especially when young, we can get on our high horse and chirp very loudly. As we get older and our health starts to slip, we can look back on our lives and see the humor in our inflated egos. As one ages, our priorities definitely change. You appear to have the right attitude, so hang in there and the best of luck to you.
Now back to fussing and feuding! Ken Rockwell has made some good comparisons between cameras of different mp’s and ISOs. Photo clarity or sharpness usually follows expectations, with higher pixel counts generally returning higher quality. ISO differences also tend to follow expectations with newer and more expensive cameras returning less noise. Not always, but generally.
With moderate enlargements like you mentioned, I agree that most people couldn’t tell which camera did what. However, with massive enlargements of small areas, I suspect one could do a better job of matching photo and camera as long as they were familiar with the age, pixel count and to a lesser degree, price of each camera.
I don’t doubt those that say mirrorless cameras perform better than older DSLRs. But then again, they are comparing state of the art technology with older technology. Just like I know a modern day car with heater, AC, molded contoured seats and modern suspension will be more comfortable than a Model A Ford with no heater or AC, horse hair stuffed seats with coil springs and a straight front axle.
I figure any modern mirrorless camera that can’t do everything a DSLR can but do it better is a piece of crap. Just like any modern car that can’t outdo a Model A is a piece of crap.
Nickaroo, sorry to hear about your health. As long... (

I look at this differently than most. I look at things and if they are productive then why change. The Guys on This Thread act as if they are The Members that Make Up The Nikon Board. They Are Not Thank God, but they sit back and type while I'am out there busting my Butt to make a little side cash for betting on Football and Basketball. Since I happen to work for the Athletic Department for The University of Michigan, my Brother gets my picks in by Friday at 11:00PM. That way there is no conflict of interest and my Name does not get dragged through the mud. Now, back to Cameras, They do not ask which Camera I have used at a Sporting Event or a Concert, they look for the End Result. To tell the Truth, I still like my D6 and D850 over my Z9. Everything that I own related to Photography can easily get Damaged and my stuff will put a check in my pocket, no matter if it is a Mirrorless or a DSLR. So, in the end, it doesn't matter who uses what. I golf with a squad of 32 Golfers every Saturday and everyone puts $100 in for Skins and 25 for Closest to the Pin on the Par 3's, then $20 for who is closest to the Pin on the 3rd. Shot on the Par 5's. so I watch this 75yr old man pull out His Persimmon WOOD Clubs and He nails that Ball every time that He Hits It. So I asked Him if He has ever tried to hit it from being on a Tee in The Tee Box, He Looks at me Like He is Calling me dumb, and Tees the Ball up on a short but a Very Hard 396yrd Par 4, That Ball Took Off Like a Rocket and he rolled it up to The 125yrd Marker, He Ripped it 271 Yards. None of Us Could Believe it. and He Suffers from Spinal Stenosis. Go Figure. That Old man taught this 64yr. old How it's Done. And to Top it off He Won $450 in Skins and a Closest To The Pin On a Par 3 and that brought Home some $275. He Bought us Crown Royals until I could not take anymore as I was scheduled to go to Dinner with Family That Night. I had 4 Hours TO Clean Myself Up and Get ready For This High Class Restaurant and Luckily I knew the Owner Really Well, So Since He Was Family, I excused Myself and Grabbed Him and Told Him That I need Some of His Funny Gummy's and He Gave Me 5 and I ate 4 at Once, needless to say that settled My Stomach Enough to take Down A Tomahawk Steak like I had Never Eaten Before. You should Have Seen The Look My Parents and In-Laws had on their Faces when I Picked Up That Huge Steak Bone and Started Cleaning Every Bit of Meat Off Of It. My Sister and Brothers Started Laughing Because My Cousin Told Them What He Gave Me and How Many I ate at Once. I was Higher Than a Georgia Pine by the Time That All Of Us Left. I was a Drug Cop at the Time and Did not Care What Anyone Thought. I Still Don't Care What People Think About Me and That is How I Will Beat This Cancer Again.
