Nah, Cotty, I think you should compare a 8x10 inkjet from your digital to an

why is that a problem? sensitivity and resolution are not related in digital cameras,
unlike film. if going to ISO 50 doesn't reduce the noise enough for the A/D conversion
circuitry to resolve, then there is no point to go slower. if they had a 16-bit
converter, maybe.

On the contrary, that´s what I´d expect.
Also, Canon have shifted their outer micro lenses relative to the

All good info, Mike!
I appreciate all these fresh (to me) points of view. Stuff I didn't know
