Not sure just how you meant that. The A650 has a larger sensor and more
mps, so the density appears form my calcs to be very close to the same.
Probably is just the same, as there isn't much sense in two design/layouts.
I've done a quick check of A650 files downsampled (FM SI Pro II) to the
same pixel dimensions as the A710/720. The net effect is considerably
greater detail sharpness and somewhat less noise. Still not as good as
the F30, but quite an improvement.

The good news is that there seems to be a very active group of hackers
all trying to outdo each other in cleverness. First one to crack the new
OS gets braggin' rights.

I simply found the S3 unusable. The LCD too small and low rez and the
EVF too slow and low rez. And focus at the long end too iffy. I went in
to try it out a second time at a different store, in hopes that it had
improved or I'd seen a bad one. Nope. The S5 is not perfect, but at
least I could use it.
