There is one other thing to consider. Is the sensor capturing the light the same sensor with the only difference between the two being pixel size??? If so the larger pixels should create an image with less noise, particularly at higher ISO's. The 18mp should enlarge a bit more. If the only place you are going to display the images is the web or a monitor, then both will be well in excess of what a screen can display.

I should have added, "the same time of day and the same subject" The time difference would only be how long it takes to switch the lens between the bodies.
Its interesting being retired and having coffee or whatever with other folk that don't have much to do.....
Thanks

I think this is the best place to get an answer to a question that came up when a couple of us were chatting about cameras.
Given the same size sensor, the same lens, and the same processing which will give a better photo, 18 megapixels or 15 megapixels. The 15 megapixels are larger while the 18 megapixels are smaller since the sensors are bothe the same size.
Thanks,
