I was surprised that in the dpreviewTV review of the M6 Mk II they exposed that only the 32mm and 28mm may be good enough for the new sensor and that they feared the 22mm would not be "ideal".

it's sad that this is still parotted. EVERY EF-M lens will show an improvement with more MP's that's just the nature of it, each lens even if it doesn't resolve down to the pixel level, will have oversampling occurring.

Sure you may not get per pixel benefit, however this premise is always true with more MP's .. consider:

(a) There is a maximum magnification based upon physics and optics that you can magnify the full sensor to. Just like there was in film days.

(b) printing or viewing at the same image size, a higher MP image will always look better - simply being because of oversample for a given image size.  Oversample is a good thing.  improves tonality, noise,etc.

(c) more MP's does not necessarily mean you can crop more - that depends on your optics, and point (a)

(d) sensor density with 32MP has most likely gone beyond the "100% magnification chimping" and into oversampling.
