I think that it is a combination of sensor + follow up electronics... the digital processor .. that is the culprit that makes one solution "better" or "worse" than another.... IOW, the same sensor, surrounded by different digital processing algorithms can give different output results..... Of course, as a user, it is hard to separate the 2....or compare 2. A legal place for hacks! Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net No thank you on the 5D cmos chip in an M. Much prefer the quality of the smaller Kodak ccd. Full frame would be wonderful but not with a Canon cmos. My 5D image files can not come close to the M8 image files in terms of fine detail, color and shadow detail. Fond regards, George
