Originally posted by BigMackCam With respect, that's rather vague... What's the source of the 24MP image you're comparing to?
Same image taken with a K1, converted to JPEG @ 36Mp and JPEG @ 24Mp, zoomed in on display to be equivalent to 1 meter wide print, at the edges it is impossible to tell the difference because the lens did not resolve the pixel density of the sensor at the edges. The reason why the difference isn't much , I guess, is due to lack of AA filter making the 24Mp version a little sharper than it would be on another 24Mp camera with AA filter.Another reason, I think, is the detail delivered by the lens to the sensor: there is only as much detail converted by the digital sensor as the details let pass through the lens aperture. The question I'm asking myself now, are high resolution FF camera really worth their price difference with the 24Mp version of the same format? That's not obvious to me, especially because 24Mp camera come with better video and significantly more frame rate.
