No, but it sure makes me sit up and take notice... If that's active pixels, it's only 25% more than the S version. I wonder if you'd actually notice that 25%? An honest question, as I don't know. I do know, however, that with computer (CPU) speeds, in order to make a significant step-function change large enough for most operations to be noticeably faster, a mere 25% won't begin to do it, and sometimes it takes a doubling to be noticeable in everyday operations...
So, if it turns out to be significantly more expensive than the S, with the pixel count of the CCD being the only difference, it would make me hesitate a bit... We'll just have to see! It's going to be nice to have a choiice, tho', isn't it! <grin> It's been a while. keith whaley Rob Brigham wrote: > > No idea as to the validity, but the following has been lifted from > dpreview: > > "I have heard a rumor that Pentax is coming out with a 4 megapixel > camera called the Pentax Optio Si.
