Resolution Quality
02.07.10 at 16:39:08  
Apart from an ageing D1X, I have a Phase One H20 back on a Fuji GX680, 16mp (square format). Looking at new equipment and seeing DSLR'S with resolutions of 18/21mp, would this better my H20 or is it a case of bigger pixels are always better as I have read in the past.

Bigger is better if you dont mind size weight cost speed of MF.
Bigger is important in pixel size AND SENSOR SIZE.
FFMF is well ahead of APS-C {5x image size} and FFDSLR {3X image size}.
The difference between a Canon 5D "classic" and 5DII besides movie mode and a few other features is only about 30 % more lateral resolution even tho it has 1.75 x more pixels.
