[OM] Re: e-510

[Chuck Norcutt]

I can't find it any more but shortly after the 4/3 system was announced 
I found a pixel density projection chart on Kodak's site which listed a 
number of different size sensors and pixel density growth curves.  The 
pixel count axis wasn't labeled but points on the graph were identified 
so one could make reasonable interpolations on the curves. 
Interpolating the curve for 4/3 sensors given the 5MP data point on the 
curve for the E-1 showed that the 4/3 sensor peaked out at about the 
10-12 MP range.

Given that chart is probably 4 years old now I don't know how relevant 
it is today but I think it gives an idea of the roadmap that Oly was 
likely planning to follow.
