Sensor technology is always improving, but what about quality? I think it's a shame that the new d3200 and upcoming d5200 from Nikon are going up to 24 megapixels. Perhaps this would be helpful for very large prints, but 16mp is pretty decent and I don't think the jump had to be so high. But if we put so mant pixels into a sensor, surely this will reduce the quality of the sensor overall. DXOmark puts the D3200 and D5100 pretty close in sensor quality, lower in ISO performance, but given that one was made later, there should be an improvement.Do you think cameras have enough pixels now? I sincerely hope we don't see crop sensors having their MP count unnecessarily upped to 30, 36, or maybe even more in the future at the cost of image quality. What about you?
