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.

Getting the absolute best detail of my father's nose hairs lacks appeal to me. I think I can get by on 16mp for a bit longer ...

...unless you find a more appealing photographic pursuit!
