In agreement with Klaus, it is indeed quite difficult to get single-pixel features on my 14 megapixel APS-C sensor format Nex. Yes it does happen, but it's not something I can count on unless I am either taking super-fast electronic flash photos, or pictures of non-moving objects,[/quote]
Klaus is talking about the uselessness of high MPs because of typical lens errors, from [url="http://forum.photozone.de/index.php?/topic/613-sony-24-mp-aps-c-sensor-coming/page__view__findpost__p__5468"]what I gather[/url].

and of course it better be at F11 or larger aperture--and probably the camera should be on a tripod. I question what more I would get out of a 28 megapixel sensor, resolution-wise, on APS-C.
But all my photos would benefit from having higher ISO's available, i.e. from a lower noise sensor, no question.

I don't think we can put the extra MPs to good use without doing something extra from our side... like when a manufacturer makes a car have a higher top speed, you still need to find a road for it <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> But to me it sounds like most of your problems can be solved by resizing your images down, if you don't really need the full image dimensions for some reason.
You'll ask what is the point of a low res image when you have a 14MP sensor but blaming the camera here is like blaming that sports car when there's traffic on the road <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> At times when you have your flash/tripod, you can put the extra sensor-resolution to better use.
