I don't understand why 24 Mp is considered "cramming" on an APS-C sensor.
This amounts to a pixel density of about 65 Kp per square mm.
On a 10 Mp point and shoot camera with a (relatively large) 1/1.7" sensor, the pixel density is about 233 Kp per square mm. Why isn't this considered a problem?
Manufacturers have pulled back and some models have regressed on megapixel count. Even they recognize what is going on on the smaller sensors.
