but if you have any intention
of cropping and processing, the extra pixels are a boon.


How much cropping do you need? A longer Zoom retains full resolution with less
cropping.

If you had been a little more careful were you dipped your wad, you
wouldn't have Herpes.


Dang! Scotty used to be clever enough to avoid getting the door slammed on his
nose.
He's just too bitter and angry now.
A Siedlemann will do that to ya!

Poor Scotty just admitted that optically zooming in reduces MP capture!!!

Bob, I think it's time you took a course in basic reading comprehension,
oops, sorry about that, I'll try it with words of fewer syllables, "Basic
English Reading Skills".

That's a stupid question. As much as you can get, until you run out of optical
quality. You can never tell where the picture really is - more pixels gives you
more opportunities.

I'd rather have the same possibilities with "digital zoom," framed after the
fact. Its pretty clear you're just a snapshot shooter, so you probably made the
right choice.

Sorry, Jeff. I worked professionally with large format cameras for Finely Photo
and as still photographer for catalogue. Cropping is something to be used
sparingly. Learn to compose your photos. 8 mp is just not going to show up
unless you have professional printing gear. On my my very nice HP photo
printer, 8X10s look fantastic from G2, G5, Z1 and even the little Sony U30 can
make a reasonable print at that size. 3mp is really all you need and anything
above 4-5 is just silly. Sell the G5 as I am. These 3 and 4x lens models are
about to go the way of the dinosaur.
