God warns that 34.8 MP is the end of the digital road
34.8 MEGAPIXELS AND NO MORE. THAT IS FINAL, AND GOD RULED THIS.
Long ago, God set out that 35 mm is the perfect film format bearing a nominal frame size of 24 x 36 mm and an exact frame size 24.084 x 36.126 mm (less a 0.9 mm wide border for film transparency masking). God also declared that the top optical resolution available in any meaningful sense is 100 lines per mm, which is really 100 line-pairs per mm i.e., 200 dots per mm. No lens truly resolves higher. It was also set into stone by God that the A2 size (420 x 594 mm) is the maximum print size that has any relevance to photographic work to be viewed close-up. Of course there can be larger sizes but they will be viewed from further away. Lastly, God made the human eye incapable of distinguishing detail (in what is viewed close-up) greater than 300 dpi (dots per inch). If we do the mathematics on what God gave to us: A2 @ 300 dpi requires 34,802,530 pixels (=420*594*(300/25.4)^2) 35mm format @ 100 lp/mm requires 34,802,343 pixels (=24.084*36.126*200^2) which is 99.9995% of the previous value. Do you think that is coincidence? 34802530 and 34802343 ? Certainly not. Only a fool could think so. Like the fact that the lunar and solar disks subtend almost exactly the same angle when viewed from earth, and that the moon's orbital period is almost perfectly synchronous with the earth's rotational period, it is a sure sign that God designed it that way. So it follows that God has set 34.8 MP to be the holy grail of digital photography. When that is reached in 35mm format, development may stop and turn instead to improving S/N ratio, sensitivity, color accuracy and similar parameters. Canon and Nikon take note. Exceed 34.8 Megapixels and face God's righteous wrath! Footnote God overlooked that the aspect ratio for 35mm is exactly 1.5000 and for A2 paper it is approximately SQRT(2) = 1.41421(etc) But then, such small details are only for small people! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This message was posted via one or more anonymous remailing services.

And at some point in time, nature will improve on it..unless of course man does it first.

Sorry but God goofed. 24mm x 30mm which would yeild 8 x 10 inch prints. As far as I know God once produced the British Wrayflex camera using 35mm film producing 24mm x30mm images. All others were heathens. God also declared that the top optical resolution available in any meaningful sense is 100 lines per mm, which is really 100 line-pairs per mm i.e., 200 dots per mm.
