Primarily about "Resolution" with...

...lots of other interesting info along the way, with its main strength being its
pretty clear presentation:

NB: with all articles like this, where there is an element of contention in the
subject matter, check out other sources of info. From a search on one of the
terms - line pairs per picture height - I got this list of references:

Just go and enjoy taking photos whatever the best way you think works. Reading articles like this do my brain in and don't help figuring how to take better photos.

Agreed, Mark. Even though I understand it all only too well.

For me, composition of form and colour is far more important, as is an understanding of how one's camera works, and the basics about focus and exposure (relationship between shutter speed, aperture and ISO).

So I take it you didn't read it...

Thanks Am, that was an interesting read, although it will take some time for this stuff to percolate through my brain and become working knowledge.

I can see that there are real world applications for this stuff, based on my recent results of shooting distant Grebes with my 7D Mk II and EOS R - the 7D Mk II placed more pixels on the birds, hence resolved more detail and texture in the feathers.

Am, I just read it, and agree with it.

You are right - I really didn't need to read yet another 'pixels on the duck' article, but it is clearly explained why smaller sensors with similar or more megapixels can have more resolution than bigger sensors with a similar MPx count.

Of course, a lot depends on the lens too.

I've added it to my photography bookmarks. Thanks.
