[Leica] high megapixels (was Re: D700)

I rarely make gigantic enlargements, (though I'm told the Sydney Opera House 
is making 4x10 foot enlargements of some of my shots) but I find the extra 
megapixels are very useful for cropping. I crop now more than I would have 
in the past. It's very useful for that.
