[Leica] TECHNICAL QUESTION?????????

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Thanks, Robert

Sometimes it works out, sometimes (most) it doesn't.  If I remember
correctly, the iPhone 4 is an 8 mp camera.  My first digital camera was 2mp.
Not sure about the correlation of mp to IQ.  But, with some decent light,
the iPhone seems to give a reasonable image.
