No, I've seen much better from a 3mp sensor. Keep in mind that the light
has to make a turn to hit the sensor head on. I don't think Epson has
hit the mark on this one. For a while, we were all saying that there
would NOT be a digital rangefinder because of this issue. I may say it a
while longer. Sure, they can design new lenses so they send light
perpendicular to the sensor plane. But then we've lost the reason for
its being...so we can use our RF lenses.

These are much better than the first batch, but there still seems to be
a
softness to them.  Perhaps I'm expecting too much from a 6mp sensor.
