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.

8k monitors are already in the stores. And to future proof your photos 10-20 years from now and onwards, it's welcome to have high resolution mode or high resolution sensors, to take advantage of the high resolution TVs in the near future.

But remember that sitting back at a comfortable viewing position, then all that is needed to look good on any screen is about 1MP image. Been there tested that with my 4K screen.
