C.H., 

The Luminous Landscape article compared Provia 100 to the D30, not Velvia to an 
E-10. Not sure that that your E-10 comparison to Velvia is a comparable 
situation in this case. While the E-10 is 4 megapixel, the 3 megapixel CMOS 
sensor in a D30 is far larger, and CMOS sensors, provide, IMHO, better image 
quality than CCD's. D30's were reknown for producing much better image quality 
than larger megapixel (e.g. 4 or 5 megapixel 1/1/8" or 2/3") but smaller format 
CCD sensors. 

But Dan's point is still well taken....there's much more to image quality from 
a digital camera than the no. of megapixels. Anyone who has seen the image 
improvements that C*n*n's DIGIC brings to an S45 compared to an S40 or a 10D 
has to a D60 knows this to be true.

BTW, Mike Veglia says you're doing wonderful things with your 10D and Zuiko 
lenses...please send me a link so I can view your images. 

Regards,
Stephen.

Ok, for this one I can't agree, I have seen this years ago and I argued
for
a week in rec.photo.digtial, two and half years ago when I have bought the
E-10 and shown my comparison of E-10(4MP) to velvia, no argue anymore!

Recently I have compared my 10D with Velvia shoot, the Velvia one is still
slightly better. Don't think a popular site always right, it is not true.
