>>3026131Lol, you have a failing in basic physics. ima make it super basic.
Glass quality is a constant, no one has a super secret supply of glass that's noticeably clearer than the competition, nor do they have machinery that offers any greater level of precision.
The limiting factor to any modern digital cameras resolution is the lens, NOT the sensor MP count.
Now let's get down to logic, if we take 2 lenses that for all intents and purposes use identical quality glass and have identical optical designs, and have a matching size sensor, lens 1 and it's sensor is 2mm across, lens & sensor 2 is 2m across. Still following?
Now, we also have to presume imperfections are at a constant rate, if we have a 1mm wide black spot on both lenses, which one is going to be more severely affected? The one that has a black spot covering most of the lens or the one that takes up a tiny fraction?
So let's take this theory and apply it to the real world, using data about the latest m43, apsc and ff cameras we can find the following information about pixel pitch (the size of each pixel on the sensor). I've used the latest 20mp m43 and 24mp apsc and ff sensors for this data.
Full Frame has a 137% larger pixel pitch than crop, and nearly 400% larger pixel pitch than the m43, so what does this all tell us...
It tells us that larger sensors, and larger lenses are much more forgiving on sharpness. And because we know that lenses are the limiting factor to resolution, the larger the sensor/lens, the sharper the images. In fact if you wanted an image from m43 to be as sharp as one from full frame, you would need a lens that resolves 400% more detail, do you think someone has a secret stash of glass that's 400% better than anyone else and they refuse to give that technology to anyone that doesn't make m43 cameras? That's a pretty crazy assumption bro.
