I wasn't following the whole thread, but thought this is
a fairly well-known fact, no ?

Anyway, this is the reason why I think a super megapixel digital
camera is great.  Don't buy a more expensive, heavier,
longer lens.  Just use a super megapixel digital and crop.
Does not work with film (hence Leica), obviously, as you 
suffer noticeable image degradation when you crop.

I would love to have a 10000 megapixel camera and carry
one lens, the widest I would ever use.  And no zoom either.
