With the 24MP Xtrans sensor available for a while now, I'd like to get opinions on the IQ between it and the 16MP.
Other factors aside, is it worth the upgrade ?
Go to DPreview's web site and download both the 16MP and 24MP versions of their studio test scene, edit to taste and then print.
I did this when comparing my then-D700 to Sony's new (at the time) A850/A900.
Granted, this was a 12MP vs 24MP, so the difference is a bit more than 16 v 24, but there were noticeable differences in fine detail and I bought the A850 (wish I still had that kit!)
Everyone's threshold of what they can see or not see is just like noise tolerance -- some people may not see a problem while others see nothing but grain
Same thing with prints and DPR's test scene, while 'static' and not real-world, will at least give you a decent baseline of comparison.
And as previously stated, it's more than just a sensor upgrade -- entire body is improved!
Can't wait to get my hands on an XT2!
