I don't think I've ever had an image printed beyond 16" x 20", so I'm curious how far it can be enlarged and remain really quite sharp, for example as a framed print in a large family room? Larger sensors equal more detail, which you must be able to do more with including fairly big enlargements from a small cropped area of any given image. Are cameras sensors getting too large at 35mm?
neither larger sensors nor more pixels necessarily equal more detail, but if/when there is more detail, there is still the question of how you would view large prints; i know i usually look at them from farther away than smaller prints, but sometimes i also go really close — i guess if i see very sharp edges no grain on a huge print, i am impressed
but i still have to step back to really see the whole image, so that detail doesn't change how the image looks, just adds a little "gee whiz" to it; i do feel the flexibility to crop is the biggest benefit of a higher resolution image
