From the conclusion of the review: It appears that Canon has reached the limit of what is sensible, in terms of megapixels on an APS-C sensor.
...
Even the sharpest primes at optimal apertures cannot (at least away from the center of the frame) satisfy the 15.1 megapixel sensors hunger for resolution.
There\'s nothing wrong with adding extra megapixels ... as long as you have the lenses to support this resolution.
Yes, 1.6x camera still haven\'t caught up with the P&Ss.
But if Canon\'s sharpest primes at optimal apertures cannot keep up with the sensor resolution, what\'s the point?
Is Canon going to update their entire lens lineup to match 15+ mpx crop resolution?
Also, do we really want noisy ISO-400, like on G10?
