This is almost as great as the 2.7x difference between 35mm film and 645 medium format and the level of improvement in resolution is be about the same, too. Making the pixels smaller and putting more of them into the "APS"-sized area is like using finer-grained film in a 35mm camera: It's good, but it won't make a 35mm camera do what a medium format can. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
