Yo, Adams. I agree 3-4 MP is enough for any kind of print most non-pro's would wish to make. After that one looks at optical zoom, lens speed, and ease of use of the menus--often not so easy to learn. What I loved about the Lumix was the 12 X optical zoom equiv to a 440 mm zoom on a 35mm camera. Trouble was the camera was the same size and weight as a big old Canon SLR. So, I sold it and now am looking for the "ideal" camera. I have a C-740 Olympus (10X optical zoom, 3 MP). It's small light weight and in looking at the wares yesterday, I decided that it is about what I need right now. Still looking at the Canon SureShot Pro with it's 8MP and CF memory card. But.........It still isn't the ideal. Bit heavy and maybe too large.
But, I went away from film in 1996 and am pleased to have done so. I have a huge library of jpeg's from our many adventures over the years to exotic lands and am now trying to figure the best program to turn them into DVD slide shows. In the old days I was a B&W guy and did all my own developing and printing. Now, I can do that with digital without a dark room or chemicals. Fantastic. And in color OR B&W, or both.
