More pixels in the minimal space is probably what you are after.  Then your
lenses have a more narrow field of view ( appearing more telephoto) and you
get more pixels so you don't have to invent some by up-sampling.

 my goal was, and still is, to use the biggest format I could stand hauling
around.  I'd rather have a bigger capture surface whether film or pixels and
work harder to get closer to my subjects rather than downsize the capture
area.
