Hi -- yes for me the 68mp full-frame sensor or 33-35 APSC/DX would as far I I would be willing to go.

I do regularly use small image sensor cameras with 2.4 micron pixels (that would be like a 150MP full frame image sensor).

At f/12.5 my setup is fully diffraction limited so for certain high resolution applications even a 150MP image sensor have merit.

The average pixel peeper or whiner would certainly not be happy with this kind of image sensor because there is a lot to complain about when missing the point (high resolution).

The big next step for the 35mm sensor is 16-bit colour depth and some of the other tools / capabilities that I have access to when shooting with a Phase One IQ4 back. The technology must be close I 35mm and yes this will cost a little more, but nowhere near the price of Phase One or Hassi.
