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.

I don’t think you understand the relationship between sensor size and pixel density. 16Mpix on m43 = 32Mpix on FF with the same pixel density.

No.

16 mpx on mFTs = (approx) 64 MPx on 135 format, ignoring different aspect ratios.
