Personally I think any thread titled THIS versus THAT is interesting only up to a point. Then the inevitable nit picking begins and /or selective quotation(often) out of context...
As for megapixel count it is on the one hand an 'easy' benchmark and on the other hand a limited criteria.
At what point does more become overkill? For me it was above 30mp in a 1.1X crop - and then only because I like to use wides. Innovation like the Alpa STC and easier stitching makes this observation redundant for me now.
The cost of entry for those who wish to use the advantages of a digital back on a tech camera is about 1/3rd what it was only two years ago - that is how much and how fast this stuff depreciates.
The cost of entry in a pis$$ng contest will always be the latest high meg back - good luck with that.
