Whilst you are right about the person pressing the button, can't argue with that, the larger sensor will provide more flexibility and better quality given that it was worth taking in the first place. £2500 is a lot of money although I am interested in what you say about the size/weight. I've always found though that the heavier the camera, within reason, the steadier I am able to hold the camera. Illogical but it's what I've found. On 27 Dec 2009, at 21:31, Dave wrote:

Try not to post very large photos or very small ones. Pixel width should be no bigger than 1600 and no smaller than 800. This allows members to view the images full screen, depending on their monitor settings. Quality should be sharp and maintained when resizing images. File sizes should be around the 250KB - 600KB mark, but not bigger than 800KB. Try to keep somewhere in the middle of all this, around 400KB can produce good images with no loss of quality. You can easily reduce the size of images using Google's own picassa http://picasa.google.com/ or Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/ -- Experience the Devil
