Hi Steve ... I'm looking at the current model - or perhaps the less expensive one mentioned here earlier - as a replacement for my 4mp Sony and as a supplement to my film cameras. Personally, I don't see a need for a larger sensor or higher pixel count ... of course, that may change should I move

Of course I don't 'know' what will happen - but wouldn't this be a big, big surprise, given that they have stopped developing their full frame DSLR in favour of the *ist D and have started developing and selling lenses with a smaller image circle?

Kevin, Does this mean the camera can write to this FAT16 card of 4GB, but the OS of the PC can not read beyond 2GB? No, probably it can't read it at all as the cluster sizes are too big. Then why use >2GB flash cards? I am confused. On Fri, 2004-01-09 at 10:59, Kevin Waterson wrote: > This one ti
