Fujifilm’s new X-H2 finally pushes its APS-C camera system to higher resolution

Phones went to 100Mpx because it’s an easy number to sell. Dedicated cameras have been hovering around 25Mpx for mainstream bodies, and somewhere around 40-60 for high-res bodies, because there’s not much benefit past that. Most full-frame lenses aren’t sharp enough to take advantage of higher-res sensors anyway.

I have an A3 print in front of me, from a photo taken with 24Mpx a7iii, and cropped a little in post. You’d never look at it and think “it needs more resolution”.

This is a common misconception. Even a piece of plastic benefits from a higher resolution sensor.

It’s not very hard to get moiré on a 45mpx sensor with a modern lens, hence we most definitely need higher resolution cameras. But even with a lower resolving power than that there’s an advantage.
