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.

(blastphany, I know, I know)

There IS a difference, but 990f the people won't see it, they only care about the subject. This may be a better tactic and attitude for both the users, the consumers of the photos, and the sellers, in the end. That
doesn't mean that I endorse the advertising methodology, mind-you.

(That not withstanding, I see a noticable difference between the 4x6's
taken with my Contax T2 and those with a "normal" P&S.  So it can be
seen.)
