What I will get when I go from a 6Mpix camera to a 24 Mpix camera (sort of). Why sort of? Well, the senor is larger, so I will have 4 times as many "production" pixels to work with the capture resolution (lp/mm on the sensor) won't be quite as much. Which is a good thing, of course. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out.

Quite right. The amusing thing is when folks say, "But that's just 1.4x the resolution!" As if a 40% increase were nothing at all. -- john mcwilliams |
