I have the G7 camera which has a 16k pixel sensor and I noticed the Panasonic produced other cameras that have a 16k pixel sensor, so I'm wondering why not move to higher pixel sensors like other manufactures have.
The only advantage of a 16k sensor was when I was only holiday I could take a lot of photos without fulling up the media card.

Hi!

How big are you printing? 30x40cm photos are great from both sensors. And if you are printing way larger, 4mp might not do that big difference, as one might expect.

Other thing is of course newer technology: newer sensor may produce little less noise at higher iso's.

Someone already suugested buying more cards. I think that is a good advice.
