Well, you have certainly expressed your opinions without an attempt at actual quantitative testing. I do think you might want to research the issue of diffraction and then revise your comments accordingly. Diffraction is related to the optics and has nothing to do with the resolution of the sensor. "Cramming" more megapixels on a sensor makes it easier to see diffraction but does not change the softening due to diffraction.

Hi - thanks for the feedback. I'm the OP.

Thanks for your candour. I do understand diffraction and that its the optics, not the sensor, that causes it. As you say though, the sensor makes it more visible (and different sensors render it in different ways) hence I thought it worthy of inclusion.

As you say, I don't really do much quantitative testing. I see no point, DXO and DPreview themselves will do that better than I ever could! I'd suggest if you are more interested in MTF charts and sharpness diagrams then DPReview will ALWAYS be better than me

I try to show what equipment is capable of and how my experience of using it felt, looking for quirks or hidden gems that a purely quantitative review may not find. I appreciate that won't be to the tast of everyone!
