Originally posted by punkrachmaninov well that doesn't surprise me mikey... you seem to have an affinity for holding onto redundant camera bodies, something i can absolutely respect (often to my own fiscal detriment). perhaps you can explain your decisions to us crazy mirroless kids further, because i don't see it...!? like, no seriously, i can't see much at all because it's only 24mp and we are hurdling towards 2019... the standard is 36mp, oh wait, that was 2016!?
It's just "Mike", btw
The first Pentax DSLR I owned from new was a 14.6MP K-7, long since sold, after which I bought a 16MP K-5 just like the one you shoot, and which I still own. From there, I moved onto the 24MP K-3 and K-3II.
I bought the 10MP Samsung GX-10 much later because I liked the look of K10D images I'd seen, and the two cameras are essentially the same. I haven't been disappointed - the CCD sensor has a wonderful response that shows through in a lot of images. And whilst 10MP isn't a lot, it's plenty for the reproduction sizes I need.
I bought my Hasselblad HV kit "just because". At 24MP full-frame, it has the same pixel density as my Samsung GX-10, and produces fantastic photos.
I bought my A7 MkII both as a backup body to use with the lenses I have for the A-mount HV, and (primarily) to shoot the many L39, M39, M42, K-mount and other manual lenses I own. The pixel density of the A7 MkII is the same as my GX-10 and HV, so I'm all good there.
After down-sampling to the reproduction sizes I'm interested in, most of the time you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 42MP full frame image and a 10MP APS-C image.
My equipment choices aren't driven by current and future specifications, what's possible technically, what might be in vogue, or what's considered by other people to be "standard", but by what I personally like and need
