Excellent point John. Most of my shots end up in my flickr album with a select few ending up around the house as 11x14s down to 4x6s. That is one reason why I went with the 16MP D7000 over a 24MP D7100 or D7200. I had successfully made 36" x 24" posters from a 6MP D70 (just don't crop the file), the bump in MP from 16 to 24 didn't do anything for me except make bigger files I would have to store. To me more megapixels are a great marketing tool but most cameras today have more resolution than what an average photographer needs for that they do. To me, there are far more important things to look at in a camera than the amount of megapixels.
