Another interesting article....but I think this aspect needs to take into consideration the intended use of the image...i.e if only for screen use then any image with more pixels than the screen is adequate....for printing you need to consider size of the paper and the dots per inch to work out the pixels needed
Upscaling can help to provide the required pixels for any given application (if required for printing or viewing on a very hi-res large screen).... I upscaled this image having cropped it heavily to 2236 x1497 - that is just 3.3 megapixels....upscaled it to 4691x3307 that is 16 megapixels and successfully printed to A3. Before upscaling I would only get an image 7" wide at 300dpi....upscaling was adequate for A3 - 16" . Obviously the image quality would be better from an original higher resolution file than an upscaled one ....but this is adequate...in fact its really impressive when viewed on the wall. The upscaled version has also been accepted by Alamy image library.
I wouldn't therefore dissuade anyone from using crop mode on the R6....but I would dissuade the purchase of an R6 if you only have EF-S lenses.....that would be a bad deal.

I have an R6 and have cropped significantly, I'm tempted to use it in crop mode with my RF lenses when shooting birds (if I cant get close enough to fill the frame) as although that will not really give me more reach it will allow me to concentrate on the subject without the periphery that I'd normally crop off in post processing.
