well said. don't be fooled by marketing drivel.

I compared images from my six year old Olympus 3040Z (3.3Mpix) with my 1.5 year old Canon IS710is (8Mpix). The former had a better lens, and in good light the Oly results are better!

Mobile phones lenses are good for maybe 2M images at best.

Ask NASA what works!
