Wrong question. Does it do what *you* want it to do?

Despite all the chest-thumping by all the film lovers here, I'm pretty  
darned thrilled with my E-3. I don't need more pixels and don't want  
more features. (Although a small, light, fixed-focal-length ZD 7mm  
f2.8 would be sweet... :-)

About the only thing I'd be willing to pay for now would be all the  
E-3 capabilities in an E-410 package.

But to get back to the wrong question, as I recall, the resolving  
power of Velvia is about the equivalent of 12-16 megapixels. For me,  
the E-3 is close enough.
