This thread makes you wonder why we went on the great megapixel ride!?!

There are so many great images here from cameras that now can be had for such a low price. Are we seeing some love for the old CCD's? Here's another:

Oxbow Turnout, Nikon D100, 24mm f/2.8 AF-D.

What the heck! That photo is amazing. The colours, the detail, dynamic range, wow.

A few more from the Sigma DP1, Sigma's first large sensor compact camera. Back then, I often thought that Canon easily had the know how to be able to make a large sensor compact, even with the 10mp sensor of the 400D. They simply didn't touch the aps-c compact market until years later, with the G1X.

Sigma DP1 from 2006, released 2007. The sensor is a touch smaller than aps-c and only 4.7mp, but the images are still amazing. In the first image, you'd never get that kind of dynamic range and highlight recovery from a small sensor camera of that time. Even now, you'd be hard pressed to find a small sensor cam that can do this.

Yup! It's difficult to justify anything over 8 megapixels for the majority of us but - for reasons that escape me - we all seem to think we'll spend all of our life photographing black cats in coal cellars at midnight and then printing billboards...

The answer is not to read photo magazines but to RTFM and never go on forums...

As much as I want to agree that 8-10mp is fine for most purposes, higher megapixel counts can allow for significant cropping and zooming. Most of my personal work is fine if it was only 10-12mp, but I've come across numerous times when a good crop makes a much better image. Lazy? Not really, just fortuitous. As for high mp counts, the M9 with 18mp (and no AA filter) and 5D Mark II at 21mp (with AA filter) just give that extra oomph. Having said that, I'll gladly shoot the 4.7mp Sigma DP1 and 8mp Canon 30D for fun.
