For those of us who prefers actual real life samples to long winded
arguments these pages are pretty interesting:

It's comparisons between the SD9 and D60 where the SD9 images were
enlarged to 6 megapixels. They seem to prove Anthony's points very well.
I was surprised to see that the SD9 images could actually hold sligthly
more detail and were sharper than the D60 images.

I also this is very relevant to BW. Especially when you consider channel
mixing techniques where you're often taking most of the data from a
single channel to achieve the final result.
