...Moose wrote stuff about pixel counts and portraits...
I'm finding it rather interesting how cropping just isn't an
issue with me. With the E-1, I'm shooting to fill the frame and
not really leaving anything on the table. It not only
streamlines my post-processing, but it also maximizes what few
pixels I have.
Now, with landscapes, you crop for the composition, but that's a
different animal altogether.
End result for MOST print sizes is that my E-1 is pretty well
matching the results I got from medium-format. Granted, we're
talking portraiture here, but the key with portraiture isn't
necessarily inner-detail, but edge-detail. If you've preserved
the edges, the lack of inside details are overlooked--if not
welcomed.
I'll still take more megapixels, but not at the expense of the
coloring and nuance that the Olympus gives me. I've had several
Nikon and Canon portraiture people look at my images and wonder
what PP I did to them to get the colors like that while
maintaining the skin tones.
IQ is more than MP.
