Default APS-C has hit that brick wall of performance

Sorry, but like I figured, there has been no improvement in any APS-C
sensor since Canon's 40D and the Nikon D90 appeared. It really does
look like sensor technology is now at a standstill. Panasonic's GH1
4/3rds sensor is apparently the best of that bunch and Nikon's D700
(and to be generous, Canon's 5D II sensor) are pretty much the top of
the FF heap, at least in-terms of pure image quality and noise
control. So where do they go from here?



The D5000 is better than the D90, so update that. The 50D was not to my
taste, too gritty even at ISO 200, sort of raggy/smoothed/NRd/sharpened
default look.

12 megapixels with the right AA filter and dead accurate AF, plus good
glass, seems to be about enough for almost any use.

Not if you crop or make large prints.
