You won't notice a thing, with higher pixel counts, when you print at the same size.

What is the point then with more megapixels ? An ever increasing pixel density on a 30x20cm is rather pointless at normal viewing distances.
At 300dpi (which is considered to be a high-res print) and 24mp we would be at a print size of 50x34cm - a typical double sided magazine image. Now I've seen numerous such images in magazines where i was able to spot centering problems upon first view ... from normal viewing distances that is, not with a loupe.
Many horse-powers are pointless if the tires cannot deliver the traction.
I know we had a couple of discussions about this already. I reckon we can agree that we don't agree. :-)
