Yea but that also means we don't need high resolution to print big. We're not limited by resolution and technology can help us if we know how to. I've been using on both ends of the resolution argument, from the occasional upscaling to denoising high resolution photos. If you have 24MP you're set for almost anything.But you printed a 65MP file. You went through gyrations to get there, but it was 65MP. I was talking about native sensor resolution.I just received a 36x18” print made from an Olympus E-M1.3, which has 20MP (5860x3172) pixels on it’s m43 sensor, and cropped only along the short axis. It was shot from a small boat cruising in the river that cuts through Bangkok, super-res’d with Lightroom, and upscaled in Photoshop to 65MP. It’s flawless - the image looks great, you can’t see any dots, lettering on buildings on the shore is readable (if one can read the Thai script).
So 24MP can definitely print much larger than 13.5x19”.
I was somewhat surprised when he said that the Z6 III was "probably all the camera that most people really need. Major win." And only 24MP. But unless one needs to print larger than 13.5x19, he's probably right.
Now that said, you have presented the case for the Z7 for the few who don't want to jump through hoops to get high resolution and wish to preserve some level of technical integrity to their works, maybe as a requirement like photojournalism.
