"I agree the silicon is going to be smaller, which causes the 1.x ratio

the lenses.  I don't care about the physical size as much as the pixel
count.  I'd buy an Oly body that did 6000x4500.

Honestly, I'm ready to make the switch.  As soon as there is a body I
think
is worth it, I'll sell off a big chunk of OM and add to my collection.
The
Nikon and Canon aren't there yet, for me."



I think you've hit the nail on the head, Tom. We haven't seen the best
that digital can do yet.

I just fear that we are going to see the point-and-shoot application
being catered for at one end, the high quality professional at the other
(e.g. digital for large format that requires a huge investment), and
nothing for us in the middle,

Chris
