Of course you won't notice the difference on the web or 4x6 print. But .... remember way back when *all* our films had more resolving power than any of our lenses yet we sought finer-grained films. Why? Because they directly affect the result. To revisit an old analogy, it's like listening to brass on CD v LP. It's harsh on CD and clear on an old LP. The timbre, the nuances, are all clarified with greater detail. The CD satisfies most people. Same goes for a denser sensor. Better edge clarity, richer colors ... everything improves. Now, it may be at 92% - 95% top of the curve that makes no diff to the amateur. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
