Ah, agreed! A friend builds sports cars near to where I live, I took some photos when he was displaying a car at a local event. He asked if he could use an image as a backdrop for a car show. Long story short, it was to be 4 meters by 3 meters! This was in the days when I shot with a Nikon D3, 12 megapixel....I upscaled the 12 mp image to what the then current Photoshop would allow, ( I couldn't then even open it in Photoshop, as it was 'too large'!!) the local sign company did the rest and produced the banner...it was amazing - even I was shocked and my friend was thrilled with how his stand looked! Lesson learned...in the years that have followed, I have printed many art prints using 8 and 12mp files from my early DSLR days and never, ever worried about what size of print a client has asked for!
For the first time in years I no longer desire a 45 mp Nikon Z camera, the print I do are only A3 so as long as i frame correctly I will have enough mp in my Z6II with just a small amount of room for cropping. I am beginning to see that the new Z50II 20 mp camera with Z8/9 AF and Expeed 7 processor will do all I need.
Dear, Ejaz. This video is perfect. I am so glad I found it. I will show this video to my photography friends, megapixel counters. I hope they will see that I can make very nice enlargements with my 25mp camera. I make a lot of still lifes and intimate landscapes. So cropping is minimal for me because I have complete control over what goes into my frame. So making a large print is no problem for me at all. Thank you for this wise lesson. Kind regards from the Netherlands
Another point to add à 40 Mpx sensor is useless with a cheap lense. You need to have a sharp lense with a high resolution too. A a data will be bigger too. I don't use too many crop and my 26 Mpx with good lense is enough for big print in A3 ecen with a 1,6 to 1,5 crop. And the pixel size on the sensor must not be too smal if you take your shot in low light.
Let's put megapixels aside for a moment. Your images are fantastic! They are both dramatic and beautiful. I have ten 8x10 contact prints (from Ansel Adams and Morley Baer) hanging on my wall. The level of detail is overwhelming. If these images were enlarged, something magical about them would be lost.

This is how you know this guy isn’t a retoucher. You need to see both aspects. Know what a high end retoucher(true high end retoucher) will want and need from you. Now if you do force them to work with lower quality images they will do that. But everyone knows the ability to work with more detail is always better. Then you can just reformat your whatever medium you need it for.
1st time I’ve viewed your channel- interesting comment well presented. Agree with your approach. Currently shoot 45 mp but previously was under 20 mp with the 1DX. Quality was good but cropping for wildlife was a bit more limited. I guess one additional consideration is the low light handling between bigger and smaller sensors. Looking forward to your next posting Bob
Ohhhh me an numbers do not get along! But this video was pretty easy to follow and the break down was simple! Thank you for breaking it down! Keep making these kinds of videos
Higher megapixels are important and benefiting for bad/amateur photographers like me... I need to crop most of the time on 70% of my photos. If I have a gig, I will get my 100mp over my 20mp camera out with me no question

Hi Ejaz,again a video with information which I needed and clearly explained. Thank you 😃👍

I agree, the quality of the lens is more important than the megapixel count of the camera
Yes it totally is. Thanks Jonathan!
Just subscribed: Thank you, I needed to hear this information
Wildlife , you always need that details when cropped in !

Aren't they though. I have seen most of his work on his website. I am so glad he is making these tutorials per say.

Thank you Ejaz. Great explanation, clear, and decisively clearing this MP issue up.
This is so well explained...THANK YOU!!!
I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks Michael

What really matter is what is just behind the viewfinder. Megabraincells matter much more than megapixels...

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful. Best Ejaz
Sir amazing
Helpful. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! Best Ejaz
Damn, awesome pics
YES, I DO !
Very good information but very distracting and annoying background music.
shoot small birds in the real world then get back to me !!
