I have bags full of Leica (9) and Minolta (7) lenses which are waiting for digital bodies to attach themselves to. Konica Minolta is lifting a news embargo tomorrow concerning what many people are suspecting will be a DSLR prototype, and if so, then 1/2 my lenses will soon be very happy campers. But 6mp almost full frame sensors have been the status quo for a couple of years, and I suspect that affordable 8 or higher chips will be appearing in cameras very soon (an 8mp chip is in Canon's latest offering but is still too costly for me). Yes, there are diminishing returns in chip sizes, but I believe that 6mp haven't quite reached the limit yet. - -dan c.
