Re: Worth it to Upgrade from Fujifilm X to GFX Series for Landscapes?
I’m not even sure what 10% increase in resolution means. 10% more line pairs per millimeter? 10% more pixels per inch? 10% larger print with the same resolutioe
One very useful and meaningful way to compare the outputs is to make two photographs with the same lens, framed the same way, with one using the 26MP camera and the other using the 40M camera. Make prints are some particular large size from both — or else a crop from a file that would have printed at the selected size. Hand the two samples to an unbiased observer who does not know what hey are or their sources and ask them to comment on anything they notice.
Alternatively, look at the two prints yourself and see what difference you can observe.
You can also sort of do this on a screen though there are issues. Pick a target images size for screen display and then interpolate both images to produce that size.
In any case, differences between 26MP and 40MP should be somewhat subtle in all cases and may well not be visible at all with smaller image target sizes.
Again, if you like the results of your 26MP sensor there is no reason in the world to go buy a 40MP sensor camera. On the other hand, if it is time for you to move to a newer body then the small improvement in resolution is welcome.
Of course, debating the potential difference between 26MP and 40MP x-trans cameras is getting bit away from the original question about the value of miniFX for landscape photography.
