[Leica] Re:Canon Introduces 2 new digital SLR's

Lot of D2h users around here too including the newspaper. I've printed
20x24's for clients from my D2h. Though the D2x color/noise/quality is
improved over the D2h.

There are high end professional wedding photographers shooting at 3mp
resolution that swear there's no need for high mp's.
