Another thought: A few people are pointing out use cases where a 39MP photo might make sense down the line: -Group photos -Head to toe shots -Panoramas Let me just point out that this research is done on "high-resolution passport-style photographs."

At the end of the day, it looks like you still need > 39MP just for the face.
