For 'most' photos, I'd have to agree, but I've found the K20D affords me the
ability to crop out alot and still get a usable image even with the 600.
You might remember an image I posted last summer of the Blue Angels over
Traverse City. The image I posted was a severe crop of the original capture,
yet the resulting cropped file was big enough to allow me to get a very nice
8X 10 print.

I've thought so too, for a long time. I've seen very little real need for
much more than the 6 to 12 Mpixel cameras I have now for when I'm making
13x19 to 20x24 inch exhibition prints, and I have vanishingly small
interest in anything larger than that.
Some of my best selling photos were made with a 4Mpixel, JPEG only
camera. Including the two-page spread photo that published in "Red
Bulletin" last May.
It's nice to hear one camera manufacturer at least inject some sense and
rationality in the marketing mania. I don't care who "won". I care that
good camera equipment that does the job I need comes to market.
