Goal; record an object/subject with maximum resolution.
Method; given equal optical quality, processing, seeing,stableness of the cameras mount, tracking, etc..
1) For any size format film/pixel based camera, use a lens that increases the size of that object (enlarging it on to the film/ccd plane) to make maximum and best use of the recording area. I.E. if you want to record a picture of a flower at highest resolution..there's no reason to have the image of the whole desert/mountains in the background using up most of the recording medium.
2.) Once you've done that, then the next major factors in the sharpness/resolution of your final image is the size of the particles recording the subject(smaller is better) and the overall size of the recording medium(larger is better).
