More megapixels helps in some situations. Less artifacts (something about nyquist?). I also find the auto skin blemish removal tools I had worked better on higher megapixel images. Cropping of course. High ISO noise is sort of a wash - more pixel level noise but more pixels so the “viewing distance” images look roughly equivalent.Seems to be order of times, similar to what Leica is doing and I believe they might have started this trend with higher MP SL series of cameras and now Q's.
I don't buy into this. Nobody needs more than 25 MP at least not 90% of us (I think)
its more pleasant to photoshop high resolution images than low - just more data to work with for stuff like clone stamp.
otherwise - if you don’t print big or extreme crop - meh.
