A 10MP sensor _cannot_ give you more information than a good slow film. Software/firmware interpolators that massage the pixels until they look good (they basically create the image) are Photoshop like, but without your input, and do a bang-up job. Let's face it, if you are trying to be the best digi camera mfgr on the block, you pay for better programmers and you get better images. Even most raw image files have at least one step of interpolation in the camera before you see it. This can make a dandy raw image versus just the raw pixels spewed out of the A/D converter into a file. True raw is Ug-ly! The magnificent digital images, sharp, high dynamic range, low noise, are all created by interpolators. Followed by Photoshop. Makes a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
