I have a Panny GX7 and have been asked to shoot some scenarios for a local hospital. Their intention is to display these on a "banner",.. likely several feet across.

Is the resolution "good enough" on the GX7 to handle being blown up that large? ( I'm assuming each photo will be about 1.5 to3 feet across and lined up along the banner.

I will be bringing my 12-35 2.8, 35-100 2.8, 15 1.7, 25 1.7 and 42.5 1.7 lenses,. so I'm not too concerned about the available light,. just ability to have clear/well resolved photos.

Should I upgrade to the GX9 for better stabilization and the higher resolution??

(I may bring along my Fuji X100F as another camera to get a different look,..)

Any help is appreciated!!

Cheers

Should be fine unless these are going to be viewed from somewhat close. You’re basically printing a 24x36 and then chopping it.

I would personally use a camera with a 3:2 ratio sensor to minimize resolution loss via cropping. This would be a good justification for using something like a D810/5DS/A7R3 type camera.
