I just went over a bunch of images I took of the Cast Iron Soho  buildings
with my D200 and I also had a full folder of a hundred images which were
takin the same time by a friend with a small point and shoot digital camera
with a small sensor in the back, a Panasonic Leica D-LUX 3 which were taken
in the 16x9 format and at ISO 100. The sensor size is 8.9mm x 5mm in the
16:9 format mode.
Both at around the same "resolution" which was around 10 megapixels.
The images in both folders are about equally  viable.
In some cases the D-LUX 3 images were better at the low ISO and with image
stabilization against my higher ISO's but no stabilization.
