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.

A 1 inch sensor seems better suited to the 3:2 ratio, but I have a feeling that it might be smaller than a M43 sensor.
