Paul, at home my computer screen has approximately the size of A4 paper
(may be even slightly bigger) with a bit more on the sides. Thusly, if I
open a landscape picture in LR to fit the screen, it actually looks
pretty good. Yes, I know it is not equal to print, but this is not equal
to web-sized image either.
Having said that - I looked at 100% crops, yes, I did pixel-peep if
that's what you mean and I also looked at fit-the-screen images.
They look impressive. And Sony color fidelity is superb as well...
I am not saying that my camera is bad. Nor am I saying that it is not
enough for I am doing. I am only saying that it is likely that full
frame camera will be better in IQ department, that's all. And if the
next round of price wars will bring the price of FF cameras to
$1500-$1800 level - I surely would be one of those people whom Tom meant
virtually. Galia will then inherit the K-7, which befits her better due
to its size and generally better speed and precision and K10D will
finally be out of service.
Though Godfrey maintains that 6MP is enough, and it probably is, to my
mind it is very much like being able to drive fast 'cause one knows how
to extract all from one's car or simply to buy a car with bigger engine.
I realize that it is likely that Godfrey's skills and tools besides his
camera are better than mine. I am perfectly fine with that. But
nonetheless, I see no reason to look down at FF as it keeps proving
itself over and over.

photographer or kidding yourself. Sorry, but that's a fact. No flames felt and
none intended:-)

Hey there.
Just my opinion, really. I've spent good day and a half with my Minoltian
friend just recently. He's got Sony A850 and assortment of Minolta FF lenses,
such as 50/1.7, beercan, and some more. Well, I admit - I am envious. The look
and the technical qualities of the pics are pretty darn amazing. Well, whatever
you say about the full or fool format - I say it is full and not fool.
Let's hope Pentax does what I would like them to do ;-).
