Paul, for a deliberative photographer you are exactly correct.   I have
found,  much like the Q2 shooters that having more pixels can be useful.
 These past couple of years I have reacted emotionally to a scene but when
reviewing the images find that what I was reacting to was a small portion
of the scene.   The new software does amazing things to our files: having
enough pixels to start with is better all things considered.
