38 MP? Uh I think the maximum physically possible before image starts to degrade for 35mm format sensors is 25 MP. People have been making billboard sized images with 6-8 MP cameras for years. We\'ll have the same problems that have been plaguing P&S cameras due to the size of its sensor and the MPs being pushed beyond its physical limits of resolving 3-6 MP. Have any of you ever tried to open, work with multiple, or batching, 150+ MB .TIF files? It\'s not pretty waiting overnight for it or have MAJOR computer hiccups in PP. I don\'t think it will even be practical for 90% of the pros out there, let alone hobbyists. More MP=bigger print size=more noise=longer processing time & it\'s limited by the PHYSICAL size of the sensor & the resolving power of the lens. You will not get anymore details than what\'s physically possible. The MP war is dead, and manufacturers know about it as well. If you want more MP, go for the medium format. The limitation of the 24mmx36mm is about to hit the ceiling. I\'m STILL waiting for a 8\"x10\" LARGE FORMAT digital (with a FREE golf cart or ATV/snowmobile to go with it).
