I was aware of the site, but the young lady had something to say of significance.
"I am going to shoot on an assignment..they are barely accepting 8mp..and 6mp- is definitely not accepted. that says it all."
Mmmmm.......the plot thickens.
At the end of the day the best option would be to try the Canon and compare in detail against my son's D50. EDIT: well, it would be if I didn't want to sart collecting Nikon leses
I accept the quality of the final prints is acceptable, but I'm still mindful of the ability to zoom in on a hi def screen. I have a B&W print -- c 1925 -- that I have scanned. I can zoom in until i can read the prices on the items in shop windows. To get pixels way before this seems....disappointing.
I suppose I'm a dinosaur, I got a used Yashica in Malta in 1966 and it feels as though it is hewn out of solid brass. It takes real energy to make it shake. My Pentax has turned out some stunning pix, but the ratio is equal to about 1 perhaps 2 per roll.
