Originally posted by GUB The lenses resolving power creates an image. A lens of high resolving power will create more detail and this can be thought of as more information. The lens resolution could be thought of as a measure of it but resolution is measured lineally (LW/PH) and to think of it in relationship with pixels (which is an area based concept) an area based term is needed. Lens information seems an appropriate term.
So you're basically saying:
If you've got a large light sensitive surface, made up of tiny individual elements (chemical grains or pixels) that are able to capture very fine detail, and you project a very sharp image onto that surface with a high resolution lens, then you'll end up with a very detailed photograph.
Which is also something that's been known since at least the 1840s. I don't see the point of larding it up with so much pseudo-technical sounding gobbledegook that people are unable to figure out what you're actually trying to talk about.
In the context of this thread, the question is whether or not the difference between APS-C and FF is big enough for it to make any significant difference in the vast majority of use cases. I would argue that the difference between the two formats is so small that it's undetectable in most cases other than extremely large prints, or in the extremely tight crops that @Ian Stuart Forsyth likes to deploy.
