Who only 16k for a camera sensor

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.

It will depend on how good the upscaling is as it needs to upscale a 20 MB sensor photo to full the 8K TV frame. In a 4K TV your downscaling so the quality would look better for a 20 MB sensor photo.

The 8K TV will be 33MP, but the widescreen nature of it will require leaving large amounts of blank space on either side or extreme cropping.

I still think that 8K is overkill and you won't be able to tell the difference between 4K and 8K at any reasonable viewing distance. I already have trouble telling the difference between HD (2K) and 4K. The upscaling won't matter, whether it's from 16MP or 20MP.

I agree that 8K is overkill, but it is coming. I think HD pictures looks ok on a 105" projector. But I also was impressed by a 85" 4K TV side by side with a 75" TV with HD picture.

All sizes, formats and resolutions works fine. But for the future more  high resolution than 12 and 16mp picures will be normal. Some times this resolution is not needed, but sometimes a clearer and sharper pictures is wanted. And with high resolution pictures you can crop and zoom alot more.

I mainly convert my rawfiles to 4K sized jpgs. Its good enough for me even though 8K is coming.
