[Leica] OT: A little history

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

A 200 dpi file will produce a beautiful 13x19 - I've done it. But the
real issue of "obsolescence" has more to do with the compulsion of
people who are worried that someone, somewhere, has a bigger one than
they do, than it has to do with need. There are plenty of cameras out
there now that should keep some of us happy into the next decade.

As the market matures in the next two years, I think we will see the 
pace
of obsolescence slow down. Maybe once we hit a high enough megapixel 
count for
300dpi and 13x19 (16x20), things will really level out.
