How many megapixels does it take to exceed the resolution of your eye?

The sensor resolution of modern digital cameras continues to grow, but at what point will they exceed the resolving power of the human eye?

Leica SL2, IBIS and High Pixel Count: Putting a new telephoto in your bag

The large sensor of the Leica SL2, coupled with its in-body-image-stabilization capability, allows photographers to extend the range of their telephoto lenses through digital cropping, effectively placing an additional telephoto lens in their camera bag.

APS-C cameras: The world keeps on turning after the death of the Leica CL

Leica has left the APS-C camera market with the discontinuation of the CL. But the assumption that a sensor size between Micro Four Thirds and full-frame has not future proved wrong.

Never mind the pixels, just take a look at the results

Rangefinder focus and the new 60MP M11. Do we really need all those megapixels or are they counter-productive, asks David Babsky

Sensor Size: Are we just being dense?

Is a sensor with more pixels “larger” than its predecessor or “denser”. Should we clearly differentiate between sensor area and pixel density and avoid the sloppy descriptions often bandied around the internet?
