I've made wonderful 8x10 prints from 2.1mp images cropped to maybe
75-80 0.000000rom my now 'obsolete' Can*n S110. That shouldn't be true based
on all the film vs. digital calculations, but it is. On that basis, the
E-1 should be good for something over 11x17. I also know from tests that
the relationship between pixel count and resolution of detail is not
exact. Oly promises "greater detail" from the FT-CCD sensor and better
overall imaging from the lenses specifically designed for the sensor type.
It seems likely to me that the E-1 will be competitive with film in
prints up to something like 15x20. I'm speaking visual impact to a
viewer at normal viewing distance, not lab measurements.

Tom,
I believe you have both an E-20 and 4000 dpi scanner. Have you ever
compared the E-20's 5MP image against an OM shooting the same image on
film and scanned at 4000 dpi.
I agree with you about the E-1's price being too high but it does have
some interesting technology in the body. My concern was the 5MP
image. It just doesn't seem enough to challenge film. Am I right or
wrong?
Anybody else want to comment specifically on resolution?
