I guess I've never done a shot for shot comparison but my 24mpx 16x20 prints look far nicer than my 16mpx 16x20 prints.

I have no idea how people say there isn't a difference, its extremely blatantly obvious to me.


There are so many variables so for one person the difference might be minor, for another major. Besides the lens, there is the sensor tech (AA, no AA, weak AA), software and on and on. Since it takes a quadrupling of MP to even double the actual resolution (with same sensor tech), going from 16MP to 24MP is not going to gain too much actual resolution. But in practice it could due to the other variables.

I didn't mean to imply here isn't a difference. Just that it may not be a huge difference. The difference to me in resolution between my A900 and 5N is subtle, but there. However, I only routinely print to 13x19.

Those are some good points. So many variables!

leica 19mm is highly rated by 16-9 tests. I think there are posts in the nex thread.
