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.

Your TV must be good at up-scaling. What brand is it out of interest?

It does not need to do any of you get to the truth.

At a sensible viewing distance any pixelly nonsense is invisible to the eye, so 1MP works fine. If I get to within 2 feet of the screen, then I do see that it is a low res file.

It's an LG 43" 4K smart screen, but still is a bit dumb, there's better around for viewing, an OLED or QLED type works better for deeper blacks.

QLED may not be the best for viewing photo as if you have a non moving picture too long on the screen it can burn into the screen.

You're thinking OLED, not QLED. OLED is an organic technology with perfect blacks currently sold by LG and Sony, amongst a few others. QLED is Samsung's shameless marketing buzzword for a higher DR LED-backlit LCD technology. Both provide good image quality, though one is better suited for motion, color, and contrast (OLED), and the other is better suited for brighter rooms and where static imagery is a concern (QLED).

I don't have a problem with QLED technology, only Samsung's marketing trickery.

Thanks aliasfox for correcting mw on this.
