I often wonder why those who don\'t print or send to publishers keep buying new cameras at all?? I have a 13x19 printer, and my 16mp camera still doesn\'t even print at 300ppi with that average sized printer. Add in the desire to future proof myself a little bit, should I decide to print larger, and 36mp is still a relatively modest number, IMO. If I was just shooting for web jpegs, maybe I\'d want an advanced 2mp camera, but, for me, printing is a big part of the process/art.
The fact remains that, assuming similar sensor tech, more megapixels are only really hurting us in hard drive space, computer speed, data throughput, etc. Heck, I often only shoot a few \"rolls\" worth of pictures per outing, so I\'m not getting bogged down over here.
