I have a question that is bugging me, probably because I have way too much free time, and must remain quiet so as not to disturb the bosses both human and feline.
I have been using my time watching tutorials and reviews and a question comes to a feeble mind.
WE have two cameras, a DX with 24mp and an FX with 12mp it is easy for one to think that 24mp is far superior, but is this truly the case. It is my understanding that in order to get all of those 24mp on the small DX sensor they need to be small (read tiny) and that the 12 mp on the FX sensor are much larger, therefor able to catch more light and also more information per each.
If this is true then is that 24mp really that much better and is it something that a average dummy with aging eyes (read me) will be able to see?
I realize that some of the above is hype to sell new cameras, and that is ok but is it really worthwhile to spend $500. t0 $2000. dollars for what may be a small difference.
