A little comment on megapixels here. Doubling your megapixels only give you a 1.4x increase in resolution. In other words if you go from 6 megapixels to 12 megapixels your 11x14 prints will have the same resolution as your 8x10 prints do now. That being so a jump from 6 to 8 or 10 is hardly worthwhile, you need to go from 6 to 12 before it gets worthwhile, and 6 to 24 to double your resolution.
Why do they use megapixels instead of linear resolution in advertising? To sell you little or nothing for a big price, of course. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > In a message dated 8/21/2006 1:23:43 PM Pacific Daylight Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > I currently shoot ME Super with 35-105 f/3.5 and 70-210 f/4 but would > rather move > to auto-focus since I not too sure if I can use MF lenses without any > manual focus assist on the K100D. > > Thanks a lot! > Gaurav > ========= > Stupid question on this list, everyone is going to tell you the K100D is > better. :-) > > I have the Canon 300D and like it quite a bit.
