Thank you Jake.

Lets suppose you want to print a 30x45 cm. From your reply I understand it's better to shoot using more Mpxl and then down resize to 12Mpxl than doing it using the 12Mpxl sensor like D3.

Is it because you have more "pieces" of the captured image to make softer and more accurate tonal transitions in the image?

I had supposed the more Mpxl the more evident any error you do is, so you needed only the "right" Mpxl.

Other than the overhead, it is always better to capture more information and downsize, everything else being equal. For one thing noise grain is finer. Think of higher resolution as more signal. The more the signal the better the signal to noise ratio.

Excellent explenation, thank you Daniel.
