Your point is well made. Also, the larger pixels are more sensitiv (higher
ISO) and less sensitive to noise (better image). Between those and your
comments about lens resolution a 24x36 would be far better than a smaller
chip with the same overall pixel count. A 6MP full frame sensor is pretty

You may have confused the price of the Contax NX with the Contax N1.
BH lists the Contax NX for $649.95 and the Pentax MZ-S for $799.95. They
are indeed comparable cameras at not quite comparable prices but it is the
MZ-S that's overpriced!

uncocked. Aren't we also told, When going out to shoot, keep your camera
