"big sensor" -- important, very very important
"I don't care about 41MP" -- I still don't, over a year later :)
The good bit about the 1020's sensor is that it's
big, relatively speaking, and this is what gives it good low-light performance and dynamic range. A side effect of that is that it's high-resolution. I never use the 3x digital zoom that this gives.
I never use the 41MP images for anything, ever. Always downsampled to 5MP or so, assuming I don't just shoot in 5MP mode (which is a lot of the time).
The two things that I didn't mention then that I've come to enjoy now are the relatively wide aperture (f/2) and the OIS, which really comes into its own when shooting video - 1080p video that doesn't look like it came from a phone.
For A4 printing, ~8MP is fine. For A3, 16-18MP will see you right. Most people don't take pictures of sufficiently high quality with crisp focus throughout the scene for even these numbers to matter.
There are people who have a need for this (starting out in pro product photography springs to mind, as does architecture work for printing at the multi-metre scale), although it's a small niche. If you
need massive megapixels, you're doing it for lots of money. Which probably means you've already gone past 50MP and are shooting with an 80MP
Phase One medium format system. (if you need to ask, etc), with a lens ecosystem that's much better suited.
This camera, like the 36MP Nikon D800, will sell to people who like cameras, not photography.
Final thought - "maybe it'll push down their other FF cameras"
Hahaha, you're funny. You should do stand-up.
