Earlier rumors suggested a 22MP sensor that would be effectively 16MP when cropped to 24x36mm. 16MP @ 24x36mm is about the same pixel density as the DMR. At this density a 22MP sensor could be 33x36mm, not quite square, or about 32x37mm for 4x5 proportions (100% pure organic speculation). Image circle requirements for the various (speculative) format, rounded to the next highest whole mm: 36x36mm needs a 51mm diameter image circle 33x36mm or 32x37mm needs a 49mm diameter image circle while 24x36mm needs a 44mm diameter image circle Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com ?
