Image quality depends on more than just megapixels, Tom. Pentax is using a new processor or converter or whatever those things are called. And, comparing some of the Pentax pics to Nikon, Canon, and Sony pics made with a 10mpx sensor, the Pentax pics have looked better. So, it's not just pixel count that matters, but what you do with it, and Pentax, it seems, is doing pretty well.
I will agree, though, that some are embracing the mpx count as much as anything else. But let's be honest, many of those who made the comments you mentioned also indicated a desire for other features, which the 10D has. Another set of reasons why so many are embracing the 10D. Next week I should have a chance to spend some time with the camera, maybe two of them, and if the camera lives up to the comments I've read here and elsewhere, it will be on my short list. Right now, while still learning and experimenting with digital, a 6mpx camera is sufficient ;-)) Shel > [Original Message] > From: Tom C > Funny, a year ago it seemed a number > of people here were of the opinion that > a 10MP wasn't that big of a jump in > resolution and one would not see a big > increase in picture quality.
