RE: Olympus: 12 megapixels is enough
My 5MP Olympus E1 still takes photos as good if not better than many 10MP cameras, given ideal lighting conditions. Quality is as much about the photographer as it is about the Kit. Olympus is also a Lens maker without peer and their top lenses are designed for 20MP. So me thinks there is some expectation adjusting going on here.

They will not stop at 12MP. However I do agree that if you intend to make money as a Landscape photographer then you are looking at Kit costing tens of thousands to get 25 to 50 MP if quality and resolution are your priority. Or do what I do and stitch multiple shots together. However you can not lug all this Hi MP gear wherever you go, which is what I do. Horse?s for courses as they say.
