Yes, I admit it's not a fair comparison as ideally it would be a side by side image under exacting conditions. However, I didn't set out to do a comparison test and just randomly chose two photos to see whether the difference is obvious once it is posted. The conclusion is that it is hard to tell a higher resolution photo from a lesser one after loading due to compression and whatnot. And also camera gear is not a deciding factor for taking a good photo. So for those of us who are caught up with GAS, less is more and the best advice I have heard to improve your photography is to just go out and shoot more. One of my favourite local photographers (HK) is Fan Ho, who passed away recently, only ever owned one camera, a classic Rolleiflex 3.5A ,
which is unusual for a famous photographer.
FYI the first photo was shot with the Leica M10 and the second a Huawei P10 phone.
Have a great week!

could hardly discern the two. I just don't have the eyes for this. I stared hard at my MacBook Air (Gen1) screen at both photographs. It would help if both photos are taken at the same spot/time. Same subject matter helps However, after going to and fro f...

Compression on loading is the second factor. I am with Echi on [not] picking one over the other... It's a challenge since the subject matter is so different... and I don't say which one is the better image. So with some hesitation and just for fun I pick ...
Too many variables to be really sure...

...it's like on the video forums where posters show YouTube comparisons of televisions shot with a camera, uploaded, compressed, sent over wifi, displayed on who-knows-what uncalibrated computer screen. Kind of funny really. But I will play along. I origi...
The fist one looks like the Leica image to me

I base this on the color rendering and Clean depth of field in the first image. The wider open the shot the easier it is to tell and neither of these a shot wide open.
