Rumors Panasonic announcement on October 17th

Interesting what you describe here, that the limit is 44-47MPix, and that the S1Rii have 44,3MPix. Will this physical fact regarding the 24x36mm format mean that any camera with sensors above 44-47MPix cannot resolve particular better? Also, your description of difraction.
I and a number of other members don’t agree with @Babylonia’s claim that diffraction is worse on higher Mp sensors. There is a long discussion about it earlier in this thread.

I don't remember ever seeing anything to indicate that diffraction would be worse on higher MP sensors, though I suppose if you looked at it at 100% then it would seem softer than a non-diffraction-limited image on the same sensor.

Yes, it would - but is this what you meant to say? It's sort of a "by definition" point.

Perhaps you meant "if you looked at a small f-stop shot at 100% on a high MP sensor it would seem softer than if you viewed it on a lower Mp sensor". If so, then that's also true - but only because of the higher magnification when viewing at 100%
