Thanks!

I'm still trying to sort out the 'size of the sensor/size of the
pixels/quality of the algorithms' stuff.  At one point, I read that a
dSLR with 3MP would have better output quality than a consumer cam
with 3MP because the sensor was larger and therefore the pixels sites
were as well.  I proved that to myself when I moved from a Canon G1 to
a D30.

Following that line of logic, packing more pixel sites onto the same
size sensor *should* result in lower quality and more noise even
though the resolution is increased.  But apparently that ain't true.

I gotta lot to learn . . .
