But I think it would be a mistake to join 4/3 as a camera format. I doubt that anyone will be able to make a high megapixel 4/3 chip, that delivers clean high ISO images. The receptors are just too tiny. It's difficult enough to pull that off with an APS (x.15) size chip and the 4/3 format is even smaller (x2). Leica should stick to APS (x1.5), APS-H (x1.33) and full frame (x1). feli --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feli di Giorgio feli2@earthlink.net www.elanphotos.com
