What you really forgot to mention is that both images are at whatever
resolution the image is (about 600x900).

So you're saying you CAN'T see the difference??

Or one might also ask if the difference's worth spending much more money to
achieve it?

and then down sampled for the web. So in other words, zero scientific
methods were applied to this so called "test"

100% pixel view, as noted in the OP, and in the image itself. Notice
the scroll bars as well.

I assume the one on the left is the 24mp. You can especially see the
difference in the highlights on the lips, skin texture, and the black
speck to the right of her nostril, although there *could* be focus
issues involved. I'd have to see the 12mp not up-rezzed.

Plus, those are JPEGs. Let's see a side-by-side without JPEG
artifacts.

you're right.
you /can/ just see the difference - if you look very hard at 100% view.
