Default So how good is 36 megapixels?

That is a total misquote, and misunderstanding, of what
I have said.

There is no way that I relate "175-200MP" to "resolution
advantage" over any other size image nor to any
particular camera. Nor did I suggest that such cameras
were "coming soon" in the same sense conveyed above
about the "50, 60, 70mp Fx sensors".

Regardless, yes it is in fact true that 24x36mm sensors
in the 50MP range are right around the corner. We can
safely assume that at least two, perhaps more, sensor
manufacturers are currently field testing such sensors.


Thanks for your correction. Perhaps you would clarify why you stated:
"something above 175-200MP [full-frame] is required" for the sensor to
out resolve the lens, and aliasing artefacts to be absent.

If subjective tests suggest that 36 MP is not a lot better than 24 MP,
would anyone see significant improvements with your proposed 200 MP sensor?
