As several people have mentioned on this list: "The proof is in the prints"
Tom shoots with a <achhh> Canon 10D, and I've seen his prints. They are VERY good. I've printed so far up to 8x12 or so from the ist-D and I am totally amazed at how they look. 35mm film is dead to me at this point. 6MP is plenty. That being said, I'm not a pro, therefore I only have to please myself, your results may vary.
