actually, it makes sense to me: afaik, the *lens* resilutions are normally in range of hundreds of lppm. so for digital, where there's no limitation set by film of how much contrast one needs to actually record those lps, once you have a sensor with high enough resolution, you should be able to get away with a much smaller lens and sensor. thumbs up for oly!

To get the same resolution from the new lenses on an area half the size, they would need double the lpmm in the current lenses. That would be one helluva lens if they could do it!!! Yahoo!
