The new 8mp camera have a sensor size of 19.1 x 28.7 while the 6 mp 
cameras have a sensor size of 15.6 x 23.7. The 8mp camera also have a 
larger pixel size, 8.2 x 8.2 versus 7.8x7.8 for the new  Nikon D70 
for example.

But, that was not the gist of my post. I know about technical details 
and frankly i'm bored with them. What I'm concerned about is image 
quality.

Cheers,
Andre
