>>4213535You must have totally misunderstood them then and missed the part with how it works.
Pixels are pixels and lens sharpness is what it is. Almost always sharper in the center than any camera made today can out-resolve.
24mp, is 24mp. If you crop 24mp FF to APS-C 10mp, there is going to be less detail... than 24mp APS-C. The sensors are not equivalent. The 24mp full frame has a wider FOV and less noise and the APS-C has a narrower FOV and more noise. The photos will be generally equally sharp if the same lens is used on both AND is a sharp lens for APS-C.
But what if the lens ISNT sharp on APS-C? ie: vintage/chinkshit lenses... modern japanese ones are all sharp. 24mp FF to 24mp APS-C, you do not need as sharp of a lens on the full frame camera. The pixels are larger, and resolve larger details, not smaller ones (aberrations), so if your lens looks a bit blurry on APS-C it will be very well defined with the larger FF pixels.
Alternatively, if you buy high resolution cameras, full frame cameras can fit more pixels at the same size because they have more sensor area to fit them on, so any company that can make a 26mp APS-C sensor can also make a 62mp FF sensor, which has that level of sharpness at both the 1x and 1.5x FOVs. It is two cameras in one, you have the EXACT photo a 26mp APS-C camera would take as well as the much larger field of view, making every lens an implicit 1.5x zoom 1.5x aperture.
Sony theoretically has the tech for 90mp full frame sensor right now (they make the sensor for the X-H2s) and just isn't releasing it until they're done milking A7RV sales (expect an A7RV-A to bump the MSRP up before the A7RVI comes out with 90mp a year later). At 90mp full frame, every single lens is an implicit professionally usable 2x zoom, capable of resolution close enough to 24mp micro four thirds (22.5mp).
But remember that part about bad lenses looking better on FF? Those lenses are not sharp enough for crop-to-zoom.
