Hi

I saw a reference to this in another post but as it was a poll I didn't want to hijack the thread and take it onto another subject. Similarly if it is something which has already been covered elsewhere, please excuse my ignorance, but it is something I have been wondering about recently and particularly after the recent spate of sensors with loads of megapixels in them.

I have wondered if you would really notice any difference at all after around 10 megapixels or so in a print. It seems to me that printers have a limited capacity for printing detail and so extra resolving power in the camera even if brought out to its best with a superb lens, would probably not show in the print. I am talking, here, about the inkjet type printers most people use at home, and not some hugely expensive cutting edge professional beast.

Is this right or not?
