[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 303916, member: 24753"] Been reading through threads and articles more or less related to high pixel count sensors, detail issues, etc. Have not read this anywhere, but a thought is developing in my mind that aiming a smaller pixel at something requires a steadier hand. A 24.2MP DX sensor will show movement that a 12MP DX sensor would not. The 24.2 is grabbing a smaller piece of light, so has to stay aimed on that smaller piece of light during the exposure, so: - Shutter speed has to effectively freeze a smaller camera movement to achieve the best detail. - A tripod would have to be more stable. - Mirror slap would have a greater impact on a long exposure. - I may need a faster shutter speed to overcome the same handheld movement. Does all this make sense, or am I just getting closer to the edge? [/QUOTE]
