that's what i said. the *istD is easily capable of showing the difference
between low end and high end lenses.

Perhaps so. But I can surely see a sharpness/resolution difference from a
mediocre lens to a pro-type lens, when used on the *ist D. For instance I
have compared my Tamron 28-80mm (50-100 USD lens) to my Tokina 28-70mm
(250-1000 USD lens). There's a huge difference, I can assure you. So, if
you're saying that it doesn't matter what you put in front of a 6MP
sensor -
it can't record much anyway, I totally disagree!

it matters because sensor density is still rising. until we get about 20
megapixels in DSLR, we've still got a ways to go yet. at that point, all
but
the best lenses will be the limiting factor. even now, on the *istD, most
of
the consumer grade lenses aren't up to what the sensor can record.
