Today there is no 150MP full frame camera. Even the 36MP sensor of the Nikon D800 is considered too much for most of the lenses. You need the best lenses and technique to make the camera shine.

The “Naturhistorische Museum” in Vienna is maybe one of the most spectacular and photographer friendly museum I know. As long as you do not use a tripod, they are fine.
