I don't know about average consumers, but the insisting on using smaller CCDs have kept me from buying Pentax DCs. For instance, 1/2.5" CCD is marginal for 3MP, but they kept using it for 4 & 5MP. The image quality simply suffers. ===== Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
