Seems to me that once the resolution gets above 4MP, sensor size becomes the primary determinant of image quality. Just like film -- it will be easier to get good image quality from a larger format than a smaller format. On the other hand, thats what "they" have been saying about 35mm for the last 70 years or so -- and I still use 35mm. - -- Clive http://clive.moss.net - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
