There are lots of photos that do not need to have high resolution. The new high-definition TVs are just under 2 megapixels, as is a 4" by 5" print at 300 dpi. PC screens range from about .5 to about three Mp. For most web display anything over one Mp or so is wasted.
So given, say, a K20D with its 14 Mp, can we somehow combine sets of four dots to get a 3.5 Mp image with better performance in "available darkness"? Or would this also push noise up, perhaps to awfuI levels? How much would you gain? Four times the pixel area, so in theory two stops, but would that happen in practice? -- Sandy Harris, Nanjing, China -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
