Re: Hmm.. ist DS competition?

[Peter J. Alling]

Ask someone else for a lecture on information theory and wave physics, I 
don't have the inclination to explain in what amounts to
cocktail party banter.  Sorry, I just don't want to type that much and 
sadly I'd need more math than I'm currently capable of. 
It may look better but is it really, if you think so that's fine, 
Canon's software hit your sweet spot.

looks -much- better than the ist D at 800. Would love an explanation- I'm
quite happy to go with what works..
Cheers,

8mp isn't enough of an improvement in resolution over 6mp to make much
difference, especially as
there will be an increase in noise at higher ISOs.  This will have to be
removed by software which will
probably cost quality.  If it's the usual Canon construction for their
lower end cameras the feel will just
be yucckie.

Canon 350D: About the same dimensions as the ist DS, 60g lighter, and 8
megapixels. Thoughts?

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during
   

peacetime.
