IMHO still good enough for web-publishing, even for today's standards. These pictures are from 2002, i.e. 16 years old.....

Nice shot's , and from a usability point of veiw , a nice size print can still be made , and the resolution of the camera is still grater than the average P.C screen or T.V to view it on .

Thank you.
You're absolutely right. Maybe I will take it on my next vacation trip instead of my large and heavy FF cameras. Most probably more than good enough...

The main problem with these older cameras is the limited dynamic range the sensors have .

In fairly even lighting there fine , but with harsh lighting it's easy to get blown out highlights or blacked out shadows .

Modern software such as Lightroom helps a lot though with RAW files .
