Interesting test, though the results aren't surprising. I'm sure you *would see a difference at larger print sizes, though at what size the difference would be significant is unknown as of yet. Certainly before 13 x 19, though. The 10 megapixel image also allows for more latitude in cropping, too (and I expect the image stabilization would help there, too, as you'd be going to effectively higher magnification when you crop). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
