Re: WB 850F update

16MP on that tiny sensor is a no-go. I hate how just about every small-sensored camera is back on the MP war wagon, now pushing 14-16mp, no matter what, image quality be damned. It's looking as if going back to getting a NOS camera from 1-2 years ago might be a way better bet.

The other thing I'm seeing is the camera makers trying to get their lenses to f2.8 or so on the wide end, which doesn't really do much on these small sensors anyhow, especially when they are stuffed with MP they really shouldn't be stuffed with. They're all really looking for gullible consumers who play the numbers game and don't know better.
