[QUOTE="aroy, post: 199982, member: 16090"] The point being made is that the D7100 has higher density of pixels. So as the image (in this case the bear) will be of same size on any sensor (if you are using the same lens at the same FL), the sensor with higher density will have more pixels of the image. That said, the magnification for either display (100 dpi?) or print (300 dpi?) required will be less for a higher density image than for a lower density image. Alternatively think of it as . If original image of bear on sensor is 5mm wide . at 5 microns the image will be 1000 pixels wide . at 4 microns will be 1250 pixels wide . to print it at 200mm you need 40x magnification . at 5 micron the 100mm print will have a density of 25/mm . at 4 microns the 100mm print will have a density of 31.25/mm So an image taken with higher density sensor can be larger in print for same DPI or denser for same size [/QUOTE]
