  5. dissing on m4/3, check

Yet, despite all that, almost all the replies in the thread are serious?

Yep, all posters like this should be advised to sell everything and buy Medium Format.

though it is amusing to read the serious replies that barely touch on the original question, 800% in any format will look soft......

One of my recommendations to the OP. Although maybe not big enough...

I have exactly the same problem

I blew up one of my images shot at ISO 12000, Aperture F22 and when blown up to billboard size when looked at with a 15 power loupe, it is not perfectly sharp!

We are assuming the OP is serious.  I certainly realized, that, that he may well be someone with no life who has to resort to trolling for his kicks.  If so, then that's on him.

Obviously your enlargement software isn't up to snuff.

It's because he didn't yell out "ENHANCE!" while hitting that enlarge button.

How did your 40x30 print look? (nt)

I do prints in local one hour photo and their max is 40x30cm for 5,99 euros and then I did a two test images and they are great and sharp but the file just lacks the punch.

800%?

I think you need to stop doing photography. Perhaps take up testing callipers as a hobby.

Well, some are a bit critical... We try to remain polite, don't we?

I'm not suggesting that being impolite is an option, so I don't see what you are trying to say.

But even those being "a bit critical" seem to lack a daily maintenance dose of cynicism.

I wish that

I wish that people replying to this sort of thread would change the title of their post. I don't know if the OP is a troll or not, but if they are then they have successfully multiplied the chances of a search engine finding hits which indicate disatisfaction with the camera format due to the fact that the title is repeated in each response.

Looking at the trolls images, I'd just suggest he sell all of his cameras and find something else to do:)

Cell phone of your choice and some Instagram filters should do the trick. ...or a Hasselblad.
