Actually, it seems to be best "price-to-features" ratio. One of my private clients whom I tutor recently bought her first digital camera - without consulting me. She ended up with a 4 megapixel Canon. She could have afforded one with More Megapixels [TM], but she (or the salesman who sold her the camera) gave more weight to features and the ability to fit more shots on any given memory card. I really have seen plenty of people buying cameras this way and I've noticed even Best Buy salesdroids telling people that they shouldn't necessarily buy because of pixel count. The cynic in me suspects this sales tactic is probably a ploy to appear more expert than they really are, but it's certainly happening. The image quality of many 10-megapixel p-n-s cameras is so poor that they just can't hide the truth much longer. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
