Resolution on smaller vs larger sensors
Resolution as discussed in the article is MTF; which is measured as line pairs per millimeter.
So, the smaller sensor with greater pixel density (same MP) has a higher resolution potential. Whether ...

Resolution on smaller vs larger sensors
The resolving power of a sensor is (roughly) its pixel/sensel density. Conveniently, for the same pixels count and aspect ratio, when you decrease the sensor size, you mathematically increase the ...

Resolution on smaller vs larger sensors
So when I read the statement, to me it reads that the smaller format
sensor needs a higher k value (pixels) than the larger sensor.
However, wouldn’t the same K value suffice to obtain the same
