Digital is all about convenience, it's the same tradeoff you make when chosing a 35mm SLR over a viewcamera. Some more or less pixels ain't the important part.

"It urks me that there is a 7 megapixel P&S, Optio750Z, but the 'flagship' is but a mere 6. Any rumours on when we can expect the next leap forward? Will there be another leap forward for pentax in DSLRs? Are there enough Pentax users to justify a 12 Mp offering? With the 12 Mp offerings by others, I am for the first time thinking of jumping ship. I sorta feel like I am being kept in the dark as to what Pentax is doing. If more info was available, like, 8Mp *istD to be released in Feb or something. Even a release to say 'Pentax will no longer release DSLRs'. Just to know would be nice. People like me need to make business decisions based on emerging technology."
Pentax already makes cameras that yield 20 million pixel digital images if you use them right.
