That's what's so funny! The DPR editors are so indoctrinated by their own war on pixel density propaganda that they did indeed say that the 50D "per-pixel detail" (a misleading a useless metric to begin with) is not as good as 10 MP cameras, but even this is wrong.








Not only is the 50D sharper than the 40D at any given absolute spatial frequency, but also relative to Nyquist. Their own measurements prove it. Siemens Star tests with the 40D and 50D prove that the 50D has even higher "per pixel sharpness" with the right lens and technique.
