Poor Bob C. is stomped again. Then again you have to wonder what Bob
might use a 22MP or higher for? Does he know that a 4MP D2Hs makes the
same quality 8X10 prints and has even better control over dynamic
range?

Bye, bye, Bobby!

Who cares about 8x10 prints? What about running the pixels into a DSP for
analysis. What kinds of analysis? Like looking for slight ground collapses
due to tunnel, a surface wake in mm from a submarine running hundreds of
meters below the surface, changes in water reflectance due to oil films,
subtle changes in wave structure due to winds, old river beds under the
sand, buried objects in the sand, land mines, etc.

Go play with your toy camera and your 8 x 10's. Science has much better and
more sophisticated uses for photography. Since you know so much about
cameras, how many lines of C code does it take to write a recursive low pass
filter using a bilinear transformation to discern the chromolesence and
luminesence characteristics of a black and white 16 MP digital photograph?
Tell us Robbie! Tell us!!!!

Bwaaahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scorched like a flounder in lava!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen!
