Exactly!! I dont buy the "our new 24mp sensor magically offers more resolution than 30mp sensors" BS.
Seems like it would be a very easy thing to test.
Wouldn't it have to be via those tests where they take pictures of converging lines ? The actual number resolution might be less, but maybe when you look at photos of converging lines, the 24mp might do as well as the 30mp.
That is to say, if they cut back on the anti-aliasing filter.
That seems reasonable. It should be easier to simply do that kind of test than just arguing about it endlessly with no data.
The problem is the lack of a definition when talking about "resolution". The digital resolution is nothing else but the Mp-count. You can change things in the optical part, like changing the anti-aliasing filter or mounting a better lens, but that digital resolution determines a maximum amount of possible detail being captured when the optical part is as good as it gets.
If resolution is defined as the optical part being included, statements about one sensor being better than the other are pretty meaningless without taking the lens performance into account.
That’s why it’s best to just do the experiment and see the results.
I have no problem with testing, but I think you're missing the point. Without a clear definition you can't determine what should be tested.
As I said earlier, there is a standard for this: ISO 12233
