Default Crop factor and lens resolution

The subject of this thread reads "Crop factor and lens resolution".
Your initial question includes "crop factor" as a variable.

Is this question so stupid? What is the limiting factor for giving maximum
amount of details? The lens, the sensor size or the sensor resolution?


You say you "don't ask if the crop factor changes resolution", and then
go ahead and ask if the sensor size is a "limiting factor" for "giving
maximum amount of details". That is, you just asked the question you
claim you don't ask.

Whatever. Answer it yourself: you have a resolution chart. You cut
it in half. Does this change the resolution of the chart, or simply
make it smaller? You have a two sensors. One has tiny pixels, one has
large pixels. Which one do you think has more resolution? This is not
rocket science.

PS. I am frenchspeaking, so, what does "Erick trolls" mean?
