Re: paleonet Digital photography again



Just one qualifier on the recent digital cameras discussion:

The Fuji S1 Pro that Stefan mentioned does give files with 3040x2016 
pixel resolution (6.1 megapixel), but does so using interpolation - 
its CCD has a real pixel count of only 3.4 megapixels, with an 
interwoven pattern across the CCD.  That's why it's relatively cheap 
- I'm seeing it sold on the web for less than $2700.

If you want real, not interpolated, pixels at this resolution, the 
Nikon D1X does it (3008x1960), but at twice the price, listing for 
about $5400.
