Noise! Besides, 8m MP isn't much more resoulution than 6MP. Remember
that the total number of pixels is an area measurement wheras resolution
is a linear measurement. To double the resolution of a 6MP sensor would
require doubling the number of pixels horizontally and vertically or
four times the number of pixels. Yes, it takes a 24MP sensor to double
the resolution of a 6MP sensor. The resolution advantage of an 8MP
sensor over a 6MP sensor is about 12%. But those pixels are smaller
and, all else being equal, noisier.

Yes, all EOS bodies film or digital. I posted info here a few months
ago about a high quality OM-EOS adapter from a seller in Hong Kong who
sells for about $120 postpaid. I have one and it's nicely made.
Appears to be chrome plated brass vs. some of the aluminum stuff now
showing up on ebay.
