I just finished rereading an article...https://luminous-landscape.com …hrough-print-performance/ (external link)
in which Keith Cooper laments that non-photographer folks who are shown prints from a Canon 1Ds3
and a 5Ds are unable to discern any differences.

To those that have upgraded to any of the high MP bodies, be it Sony/Canon/Nikon, agree with that?

Hmm, he only printed up to 29x19", or ~74x48cm, which isn't that big... one needs to print 40x30" and bigger for it to really matter.

Of course it's also easier to edit/work on finer detail without it being obvious that something was shopped, and you also get crop estate.

I acquired an expensive camera so I can hang out in forums, annoy wedding photographers during formals and look down on P&S users... all the while telling people it's the photographer, not the camera.

Once you're any reasonable distance from the print it probably makes little difference. I have a 50" print from a slightly cropped 5D Mk1 photo that looks great.
