When Nikon launched the D800, there were lots of laughs about how ridiculous that was and how no one needs the megapixels... and now this... must upgrade everything to cope with the 120MP... sounds like a good plan for equipment manufacturers...

Question is ... Who will really need 120mp though I guess this will still sell ...

Once upon a time, when 4/6 MB dslr came out, people were showing off their excellent 1-2 Mb photo....
fast forward, when D800 resolution announcement was made, questions everywhere..

History will repeat!

Unfortunately the innocent like me gets pulled along as well.

I do need that. I guess its for people like me who is never enough.

But megapixel without the bit depth is useless. Megapixel but comes in a big chunky machine is also... not friendly. haha
