William, I imagined the 6 megapixel image could not stand the amount of enlargement that an image from a 6x7 would and still remain sharp. I imagined that was why Wedding Photographers used big cameras on the formal portrait side, to get the required sharpness on enlargement. But now I'm questioning if that is true.
I don't know that 6 megapixel *ist D pictures aren't sharp. I saw my first one Monday in the case at the camera store. I refused to hold if for fear of falling into the same ENABLEMENT you did once I got it in my hands. :-) Regards, Bob S.
