C'mon, Jerry-  

You know those P&S high MP don't have more "resolution" at 1/4 the price.
Are you juyst toying with him?

What we have is the camera companies sucking in amateurs with megapixel
counts. Six or eight MP stuffed onto a tiny CCD means to "anti" resolution
events happen:  A bunch of smaller pixels and a ton of interpolation!  So
what?!  People that buy into that are running around still saying, "Mah
kem-ruh teks gud pitchurs!!"  Then they print out on a $49 Lexmark.

Not even worth arguing with, buddy.
