The Megapixel Arms Race Isn't Serving Photographers

Manufacturers keep pushing sensor resolution higher. Your clients keep not asking for it. The actual constraint on print quality for most commercial and editorial work isn't megapixels — it's glass, light, and whether you can keep the camera steady.

Worth reading if you're mid-upgrade-cycle and feeling the spec anxiety.
