I would say that by 12MP any advantage that film has is mostly theoretical. One would have to have a top grade lens, tripod and fine grained film to get a resolution advantage. I'm not saying that the Dimage is great, but with effective optical ranges of 28-200mm most people would be quite satisfied (look at the number of 28-200 film lenses that have been sold).
From: "Rob Studdert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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.
