I think it's a given that anyone asking about cameras that high end is spending that kind of money.

I brought it to HN from a different angle. Most photographers crop and downsample to help them establish proof of copyright (since they don't have negatives). With 4K screens becoming commonplace, it seems like they're about to lose that arms race.

But even then most DSLRs are at least 20MP+ giving enough wiggle room to crop/manipulate the image and still have a high enough resolution to display on 4K devices.

I don't think it will be an issue for a good while yet and by that time I'm sure new bodies will come out to take advantage of it.

The one he was referring to in his post is 12MP.

I think the parent was talking about currently available models. The D90 quoted is from 2008, and nowadays even good compact/superzoom cameras can do useful 4k photos.

Yes - looks like from his followup he's going with a D750.

So, yeah, body swap. I guess the war continues :)
