Re: How Much Resolution Do You Need

FWIW Sharpness is a lens attribute while detail is an attribute of pixel count. The more pixels available the more detail that can been seen in the final print. Tone graduation is also smoother with more pixels. Bottom line, more pixels are handy but, if you start with all that available detail and tone graduations but you also down size all your photos for web use or nothing much larger than an 8X10 all that extra "goodness" is mostly gone. A person reading these posts looking for guidance towards purchasing a new camera, in my opinion should first think about how they will be using their images, then go from there.
