But Wiki, or the authors are incorrectly equating the film sizes in the resolution with MPs, over DPI. They are giving the 4x5, and larger films some outrageous numbers that are not even close. This is because with the film it is not the size that decides the resolution, unlike digital, but the fineness of the grain, or DPI. In which case digital sensors out resolve film. The only reason that you could print larger photos with Medium Format was the size of the negative, the resolution of the final image was again affected by the grain of the film itself. A digital sensor is always at a constant, unless you use a cropped lens on a Full Frame camera that allows it, so the more MPs the larger the data file, and the better the resolution for printing.
