Heh...I've been repeating that, "If only it wasn't $8000" line since it
was introduced.
You know, the "wasted pixels" issue that Olympus keeps addressing in
their promotional material is a fairly good point. This system has a
handy aspect ratio for commonly available paper. Had anyone worked out
what percentage of an image is discarded to make an 8x10"? Add that to
the pixel count of the E1 and it's probably effectively playing on the
same field as a 6-7 MgPx device.

Sensor size/density - The Canon 1Ds equals 35mm film for anyting up to
16x20 or 20x24, according to some pretty knowledgable pros. That's 11
MgPx. Much more than that or the 14 MgPx Kodak and the film grain
starts to interfere with most resolution issues. The Canon images are
essentially grainless; pretty amazing! If only it wasn't $8,000.
