>True, but it's still misleading. While colour may be recorded at 10 million distinct photosites, luminence is only recorded at 3.3 million. In the end you get an image whose quality is somewhere in between 3.3 and 10MP. It's certainly better than 3.3MP cameras, but it's not capturing luminence at 10 million distinct sites.
>chris Sheesh, not that long ago I was a newbie and I still consider myself a novice. And reading this list and getting new terminology and camera mechanics down was sometimes a pain. Not the reading the list part, the absorbing/struggling with learning new stuff part (which I am still doing, of course). Now we're into digital and a whole bunch of new buzz words, technology, and other new things to learn. And I still haven't finished learning the basic film photography stuff. Arrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Marnie aka Doe :-) This was just a little vent -- feel free to ignore -- as I run screaming from the room my computer sits in. (Nothing personal, chris.)
