100MP and 25MP DNG please

Here is what I have found thus far in using the Mavic 4P on jobs. The dynamic range is noticeably better, keeping inter-relating tones in check as one controls contrast in post.

I am comfortable using it as a 50MP aerial photo platform across all three cameras. The mid and tele cams hold up surprisingly well at 50MP, the files can take a fair amount of sharpening in post before I start to see the usual weirdness.

The wide cam I will not be using at 100MP but will downscale it in post to 50MP which it then becomes just about perfect. It just does not hold up that well at 100MP, artifacts come on strong so I won’t be using it that high.

If there was a way to set all three cameras to 50MP I would do it. Those are my thoughts thus far.
 
The Mav4 is a bit of an odd duck but for me, shooting mostly video, the huge win is the DLog on all lenses. That makes up for everything else that I'm not in love with. I posted a long comment on that earlier. I see a significant bump in detail with the 100mp but I have to pixel peep to see it. Viewing anything on my 5K monitor shows no difference between them to my eye.

So you have the drone set to capture in 100 Mp, or save 100 Mp DNG files and then in Photoshop or some other software, you downscale it to 50 Mp?

And you get better dynamic range in 100 Mp files (before or after downscaling to 50 Mp?) than in the native 25 Mp files?

No sign of artifacts in 100 Mp compared to 25 Mp?
