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.

If you are after higher resolution you might want to consider APS-C or FF systems. M43 will always be a bit behind in this regard.

Yes if you consider the same pixel density would give 64MP on FF it becomes obvious. But we seem to be getting 100MP phone cameras so what do I know.
