Read it again, you are good at misinterpreting
And Mikael take it easy. Carm and fine

Just to be clear about what I am referring to:

I rather take 75Mp and  it will allways be better  compared to 21 Mp whatever lens you use.

Not too many way to interpret that. You explicitly said you would "rather take 75mp" (and I can only assume, given the context, that by that you mean "take the V1") and that "it will always be better compared to 21mp" (and by that I can only assume, given the context, you mean better than the 5D III), and you even qualified that with "whatever lens you use".

Sorry, that is plain and simply incorrect. If you throw a 250mm lens on the 5D III, to normalize angle of view with the V1 using an 85mm lens...and by "normalize angle of view" I mean produce the same exact scene and framing in the output image, the 5D III WILL outperform the V1. The images will effectively appear to be the same, but the 5D III image will have more than twice as many pixels, so twice as much detail, which leads to better microcontrast, better sharpness, etc. etc.

If we factor in the larger lens aperture, greater light gathering power, lower noise, higher SNR, and all the other benefits of the FF camera setup...every aspect of IQ should be superior with the 5D III.

If he wants 75mp, then 80mp is even better, right?  So, he's shooting with a Phase One IQ180, right?  If not, he's discussing images from hypothetical, nonexistent cameras, which is nonsensical and totally irrelevant.

EOS 1D X, EOS 7D, and lots of lenses

I think every one knows what he meant and if not it is you who has a interpretation failure.
He rather take a 75Mp in the future (every one understand that) and shows my pictures, was wrong with that?

You said earlier that you saw softness even at F- 4 etc.There is  is no real softness at f- 4, but the image was not properly sharpen when I showed it first time . Then you  are right about  difraktion affect at f-8 but that is common knowledge
for almost every one.

Why would you assume he suddenly moved to some hypothetical "future" context, when the context at hand involved 75mp only as an extrapolation from the pixel density of the V1, and the argument at hand was explicitly regarding the V1's IQ?
