Yeah I'm keen to see a sample image out of the new 12MP SLR, I think at this point the advantages of film WRT quality will become pretty marginal in normal light. The new Dimage is heading in the right direction however won't knock the E series Olys off their perch just yet as the images sensors are much smaller.
