The Optimal Sample Rate for Quality Audio

[One and a half]

I remember when experts proclaimed that 3.1 megapixels were all you'd ever need from a digital camera. Then it was 6 megapixels. Then 12 was the magic number.

 

Now we have the 36-megapixel Nikon D800 taking the industry by storm. Does anyone need 36 megapixels? Probably only those that print billboards and giant posters. But it's available, (relatively) affordable, and actually works. Why not?

Just as an aside, the high resolution of the Nikon allows you to essentially just use one lens to replace two or more. The high resolution allows you to zoom in and enlarge to such detail, who needs a zoom lens.. You still need to observe basic photographic skills, but it opens the door to a new level we could not see or go to before. So hires would take us where we haven't heard before, 96/24 gets us to the door, 192/24 opens it, 768/24 gives us electrons to hear?
