OK, You've got me, to a certain extent. My reply was a bit of a troll to
wind conversation up.
You've got unusually attentive girfriendS, IMO. At least more than most of
the casual photo lookers that I come into contact with.
Keep on making those images. But be careful of the multiple GF's :-o

Skip, that's just wrong!! ;-)
My gf's friends ask, "How come your pictures are always so clear, and
ours aren't?" Well, first, as a shooter, my hands are pretty steady.
Also, lack of a shutter lag makes for good shots. But a good Zuiko
lens vs the plastic f8-f11 only lenses on the p&s's might be another
reason also. I took a few pics to show them however, STEADY HANDS make
all the difference. I used their p&s, and still got decent photos.
Regardless what lens you have in front, if the sensor is not sensitive
enough, you won't get good quality pics. I was reading a tech
discussion about the "upper limits" of film as far as megapixel density.
Something like Fuji Provia, is upwards of 29 megapixels. Without
visually caused interpolation, that means 14 megapixels. That's what
the new Kodak will do, that means digital has caught up to film... But
trust me, Velvia does NOT EQUAL 2-3 megapixels!!
Hand me a loupe, and the difference is clear, regardless how good the
printer is.
4-6 megapixels, you can't tell on a 4x6.... But 2-3, I can...easily.
