That's what I thought, too, though I don't disagree with the 12MP statement. So how do they go about keeping the camera prices artificially high? Until now all the camera makers have droned on about new, higher pixel counts, which the rest will still do. I'm betting that Oly will fill their cameras to the brim with silly gimmicks and newer, shinier modes like shooting-from-an-airplane mode or the ever useful engine-parts mode. As ridiculous as the megapixel race is, Olympus just shot themselves in the foot. The rest of the industry will continue this nonsense for several more years. -- Scott Loveless Cigarette-free since December 14th, 2008 http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
