Absolutely.  Files from Canon and most of the other digital cameras 
have to be sharpened.  I use PhotoKit with a choice of 3 sharpening 
tools, including capture sharpen which only sharpens enough to 
compensate for the digital capture and even that is a layer that can be 
faded.

I hope so!  I debated long and hard and decided I really wanted a 
lighter, full-frame, 12 MP camera that was considerably cheaper than 
the DMR.  Besides if I got the Leica back, I'd have to carry another 
set of lenses and batteries.
