Someone sent me two images he had shot at 1600 - one image actually, color and bw. At 1600 it looked like a really good 400 iso image from a good DSLR..>Astounding...Leica, and everyone else, has a tough act to follow.... -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Douglas Herr Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 1:37 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: Digital M/Digital Rebel was Re: [Leica] Lost Faith in Leica Jonathan Borden <jonathan@openhealth.org> wrote: > ..

I would think that the surface area of the capture medium, and consequent degree of enlargement for same-size prints, will play more of a role in the how important lens quality is (meaning in this case only resolution) than the pixel count.
