Both taken with the HD 55 - 300mm @ 300mm   f8   AV  Range of subject about 
40m. Mininimal post processing, images uncropped, not sharpened

If you look at the EXIF you will see that the resolution of the K110D image is 
72dpi whereas the K5 image is 300dpi.

The original K110D file is 4.64Mp & the K5  5.72Mp

Visually I can't see any difference. Both original files start to become 
pixellated at about 150% zoom.

I think we need some expert comment here.

BTW, don't you think that old K110D still does a good job?

Re: smaller resolution vs native formats

2018-07-06 Thread P. J. Alling
Some cameras, might use Pixel binning which combines all the information 
in four adjacent pixels to produce one,  or they can simply drop enough 
pixels using only the color information to get to 6mp.    Since 16mp 
doesn't come that close to being 4x 6mp, (I'd have to think about the 
math and  I'm feeling extremely lazy right now so I'll go with that), 
there's going to be some resizing and manipulation either way.

Or something else?

Downsized images might appear sharper depending on the algorithm used 
to downsize them.
