K-lenses were usually bigger and M-lenses were usually smaller (compared to

ever, so if any manufacturing improvements happened, they were to the

The big mistake some makers are doing now (especially Fujifilm and Sony) is

The F717 doesn't impress me so much. Images are sharp (sharper than those

interpolate it up to 8-10 MP and still get a nice pixel-free blow up. That's

If you have a so-so 6 MP picture,
I believe that below 3 MP, pixel count was the single most important factor
