Excellent observations. It's interesting that they've put an 8mp sensor
in the 880, and a 5.1mp in the 805. I'd love to know the thinking
behind that. While my preference would be for the 880 for its lens, I'm
also skeptical of 8mp in a small sensor. Unless they've done some
magic, I'd prefer maybe a 6mp sensor. The proof will be in the pics.
If I press the button, will Kodak do the rest?
