Hi All,
I have been pondering upgrading my Sony A55 (16MP) to the A77 (24MP). I predominantly shoot wildlife and hence often need to push ISO up as much as I dare (I don't like going above 400 on the A55), but also sometimes need to crop heavily.
In my head it makes sense that a higher MP count will retain more detail/IQ in my crops and noise would be reduced as a result of the better ISO performance of the A77.
Obviously the A77, also has a number of other benefits, but is there anything I am missing when it comes to the IQ of cropped images?
Hope this makes sense!
Tom.
