I had the sense that megapixels were becoming not as prominent in marketing but it seems that more will always be "better". Being a practical photographer that uses mainly RAW I'm concerned about the increasing file sizes. Some will say, "hard drives are cheap" but it's more than disk space. Larger file sizes require more horse power in CPU & GPU. I'll likely never print larger than 13 x 19 so that's a lot of overhead.

Is this another flaw in our science education or another example of marketing gone wrong? Bet the marketing folks didn't get much science. MEH
