Hahaha, I would hate being so obsessed with cameras that instead of taking images I sat on a computer looking at how it compares to something else all day like they do.

He must be getting desperate to continually post this click bait (sorry for the re-post).

Next he'll be asking for donations "to support my growing family"

These people are troupe of clowns. Now seems like they also started to smoke crack.

somebody better shoot some resolution test charts, and properly, cuz this real-life nonsense if full of ambiguity.

FWIW, one of the reasons I shoot fuji gear is I can get OOC jpgs good to go with no or little post.
Saves me futzin' about on the 'puter. Gettin' old, don't have time to waste.
Perhaps that's a good marketing slogan for mirrorless,

Get it right, in camera, cuz at your age you can't risk unfinished business because you died during post.."

Hi,
5DSR FF 50MP pixel size: ~41.um
X-T2 APS-C 24MP pixel size: ~3.8um

So if the lens on the X-T2 is very good, theoretically, it can out resolve the 5DSR, but practically, I don't think you'll see any difference... it'll depend on lens, shooting condition and image processing method.

Anyway, from the images the website provided, I don't see any significant difference.

Have a nice day.

Tony did not post "this" on the CR forum. That explains everything ...

on a contrary note:

Is there a way to adjust the forum filter so that I cannot see a particular forum user's postings on the forums at all?

If I'd posted this, you'd all be bitching that I was being a troll..!

This is probably like the time Tony claimed the 70-200ii with a 2X converter was significantly sharper than the 100-400ii with both at 400mm. The man has track record of making bizarre claims.

He and Chelsea seem to be far too occupied with their cameras to start one

Actually this type of thing isn't new; it may have been the same site who demonstrated that the Pentax K3 produced sharper images than the Nikon D600. Print it big, then you'll see the real story.

I'd be more inclined to believe it if even DPReview wasn't showing the 5DsR taking a huge dump on the X-T2 in terms of detail.
