That much is certain, Steve. We don't have any good quantifiable data yet. 
And I think reasonable people could argue that it may not even matter as 
long as people are using the tool and it's doing the job for them. I have 
sort of come to that conclusion myself with regard to the Micro 4/3, which I 
have been using for some time now. I had always fixated on obtaining the 
best image quality. But the m4/3 system taught me that handling and that 
elusive joy-of-use factor are just as important. Because those are the 
things that influence the likelihood of actually getting the shot, 
regardless of image quality, and whether or not you'll actually have the 
camera in your hand when the opportunity presents itself.
