Well then I'll take it. But I would guess that means that 6.1 isn't all
that terrible either? Looks good to me.

Now I'm confused. Rob keeps telling us that the 6.1 megapixel sensor
can't come close to supporting the resolution of high-end Pentax
lenses. Now I hear that a ten megapixel sensor will exceed the
capability of the lenses. Is the threshold level somewhere in between?
All I know is the *istD delivers great results, and I would guess that
a ten megapixel camera will deliver even better results.
If you expect the captured images to be as sharp as the sensor will
allow every
stop from wide open to stopped right down you'd be disappointed, the
laws of
physics won't allow it. However at the sweet spot of most lenses a
sensor of
10MP in an APS format will work quite nicely resolution wise. Any DSLR
sensor
beyond that density would deliver specs for sales and marketing but
nothing
more for the photographer.
