jaapv Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted January 24, 2021 2005 - Canon 10D, 6.3 MP. Even cropped slightly. They print just fine up to A3 (with a bit of uprezzing ). I think anything over 18 MP is more than enough for me... Yes, I know they are not Leica, but they are here to make a technical point. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean anything around 18 MP after cropping to the right composition ....... Edited January 24, 2021 by jankap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted January 24, 2021 If I would incorporate cropping I would probably drop my requirement to somewhat under 10MP The M8 did me fine. And the DMR. I have 1 m wide prints from both those cameras that are quite good. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted January 25, 2021 My point is that there are many situations where a high-MP camera is of little or no advantage; there will be more detail for sure ( but probably hardly visible on a normal living-room sized print) , but would the viewer miss the detail that is not there if he does not have a side by side comparison? Would the subject be better expressed by more detail? I rather doubt it for the vast majority of photographs. In my use the only reason I could find is less colour aliasing on feathers or fur - but I do have the colour replacement brush in Photoshop. So I decided for myself that it is pointless for me to consider a higher MP count as a reason for upgrades. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankap Posted January 26, 2021 Share #7 Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Here is an example from a low-MP camera. Not Leica of course. This camera produces pictures with 2450 x 1634 giving 4MB. I have used DeNoise to prepare it, otherwise no changes. Is this usable for A3 prints still? Fresh snow is a problem for a Cocker Spaniel.

An interesting feature of this camera is, that it can export pictures in the .jps format (Stereo).
