Re: Samsung galaxy S5 does 98% of my shooting right now

Whilst I'm not sure whether the s5 takes better photos than the iphone 6 I am getting a bit fed up of this megapixel race.

Sure there are some people who would make large prints of their pictures, or want to crop a lot, but do people have monitors or screens that can display more than 4k, as that's roughly what an 8 mp sensor can deliver? I'd much rather camera manufacturers focused their efforts on quality rather than sheer number of megapixels.

I own the samsung s6, and whilst I'm quite pleased about the quality of the pictures, a sensor that size struggles to resolve that level of detail.  In fact, in all but the best light if you zoom in to 100% you will see smudging and blurring.

So I'm all for keeping the number of megapixels at 8mp (and I haven't used an iphone in 3 years)
