Paul, don't you ever print? I can often easily see the difference between my K100D 6MP shots and my K20D 15MP shots when printed at 10x15 inches, the smallest I ever go. Especially in auto detail type subjects where the stairsteps on diagonals are visible without a magnifying glass.
The difference is barely apparent at web sizes (under 1kx1k), but readily apparent when retouching in Photoshop. The more detail you have to start with the easier and less obtrusive retouching will be. I am looking forward to a significant increase in useable resolution. My DA* glass is ready for it. I hope they deliver. On Sun, Sep 22, 2013 at 6:52 PM, Paul Stenquist <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree . Some of my best prints were made from istD images.
