Here's a series of shots where I compared resolution of the 7D MkII (crop sensor) to the 5DsR (full frame). The aperture setting are the same with crop and full-frame and result in the same exposure:

Full-frame is NOT the way for everyone to go. It depends on what you'll be shooting and how much your willing to spend on lenses and how much bulk you're willing to carry around.

As you can see in my comparison, crop-sensor bodies with the same pixel pitch as full-frame sensors have the same resolution. Any difference you see is due to slight differences in sensor technology and can really only be discovered at 100% and higher cropping.

If you're not going to print at sizes like 50" and beyond, spend your money on great lenses. If you're going to sell and/or print, then full-frame should be seriously considered. For internet and small prints, you will not see a difference.

Yep, the only reason i went full frame was because i am making largish to large prints of my images for wall art around the house. That said, i did print a 20"x30" (which is a largish print) that was taken with a 30D (8 megapixels) and at that size you can just barely start to see pixels, and i mean barely, most people wouldn't find any pixelation in that print. Same size print from the 5DmkIII shows absolutely no pixelation what so ever and doubt it would until, as you said, the print get to 50" in one direction.

What do you suppose the 5DsR will print up to without showing pixels?
