I'm glad to hear that Winsor. I've been thinking about 8 MP
vs. 5 MP, and despite having once gotten used to 8 MP files
with the C-8080, I don't miss the pixels with what I get in
a 5 MP file from the E-1. Not to detract from the C8080,
but somehow there a quality vs. quantity correspondence
between the E-1 and C8080.
It's the larger sensor, I know -- you told me this over and
over. I was blind, but now I see ... :)
5 MP RAW files fit my old computer a lot better too. I wait
a noticeably longer time for processes to run with C8080 images.
