Herb How do you get a 5000 pixel image on one side from the *istD? According to the review in Dpreview the max resolution of the 6.1megpixel sensor is 3008 x 2008 which seems about right since my 4 megpixel P&S puts out a 2400 x 1600 pixel image. I can believe you can get to the 5000 pixel mark with 4000 dpi scanner as my Minolta Scan Dual III at 2820 dpi gives me a 3808 x 2576 image on max resolution which is still higher then the *istD. If I use hamricks software I can even get raw files from my scans. I just don't think the 6.1 megpixel standard is high enough for landscape photography work. However digital is wonderful for portraits as they are already softened I would think.
