For a journo, the number of pix you can shoot and the delay between shots are far more important, given that the results will be used at a relatively small size with a 65-100 halftone screen over them. Even with my 'no-lag' 4MP didge, if I shoot at full res. I only get 20 shots on a 256meg card and wait what seems like an eternity for the last shot to load. I suspect most settle for a faster approach and damn the res. What worries me about the small sensor issue is that the next step in digital photography is likely to be the reduction of this speed problem. Those like Oly who go the small sensor route may find themselves overtaken by a new generation of full frame or even oversize fast chips and if the new lenses are optimised for 4/3 and can't migrate to a new large chip body......the horror! AndrewF >> Is the D2H a full frame in the sense that a 17mm lense will look like a 17mm and a 20mm look like a 20mm and so forth? I know that on a lot of the cameras, a 20mm will actually be a 35.
