Most of the time 16, 20 or 24 meg is more than enough, but sometimes, with some applications, more would be helpful. Depends on what you do.

I agree with the "Depends on what you do", I might add "Depends on how much you can afford" - I'd have an S2 now if I could justify it.
I try to fathom how many Mega Pixies is enough?
I think I've come to a possible conclusion that enough resolution is a ratio of -
artists intention / print size / viewing distance / viewer acceptance
its the last one that I can't nail down. While I might be happy with a particular big print a buddy of mine is never happy, but then I don't have to keep him happy.
In a way its not which A7 or A7r to get that interests me, its more that its Full Frame 35mm and what that offers for DOF effects and lens angle of view.
While I mostly use wides I do occasionally want that shallow DOF. While APSC and m43 can do it, its what I am used to after years of being a film user.
I am starting to think the A7 may be the way for me. I gain a few extra features and lower price which I can use on a lens. Samples will help.
