I have been thinking, who exactly needs 5MPixels for compact P&S cameras? I always thought those who used compact P&S only needed 4x6" prints for family events or travelling snap shots. For that, I think a 3MPixels suits the purpose, and less expensive to buy too. Canon G2/G3 sport with high quality lenses, and many serious users might find the need for higher pixels. But for compact P&S with "slow & mini-high-power-zoom lenses", does 4MP or even 5MP really mean anything in practice? What am I missing?I'm not exactly impressed. And, if we were to use the rule of proportion, the Optio550 should cover the Pentax news. Horrifying thought.
