Print and display dpi will continue to increase. Storage gets cheaper and processors get faster so the bigger files become less of an issue.

You only get 1 chance to capture all the detail you can.

I think in terms of pixels and dpi, once you exceed the resolution of both realistic print and displays it just hogs massive resources and storage. I produce 16mb raw files and 7mb jpegs at max on my D700. 36mp extrapolated would be around 21mb an image at max setting for a Jpeg, god knows how much for a raw file.

Why do normal mortals only need 12mp?

As long as it's not at the expense of quality you can never have too much detail.

Normal mortals need no more than 12mp and even then....

it'll be purely a studio shooter for many of the owners I think.

Video was very good quality. No doubt the lenses used were more than the camera :lol:
