this is weak.. and not because of fps or iso (its not meant for sports photography!). The dynamic range is an increase of 2 stops over your typical sensor in high end 35mm digital slrs, but they cost considerably less. But what about resolution? Fail. The table below shows what you need for film equivalents - in b&w. Color x 3
Films and their approximate Digital MegaPixel equivalents Calculated @ 107 lines/mm film resolution for the interested photographer!
35mm - 24 X 36 X 11574 = 10,000,000 = 10 MegaPixels 645 medium format - 60 X 45 X 11574 = 31,249,999 = 31 MegaPixels 6X7 medium format - 60 X 70 X 11574 = 48,611,111 = 48 MegaPixels 6x9 medium format - 60 X 90 X 11574 = 62,499,999 = 62 MegaPixels 4X5" (Inch) Film - 102 X 127 X 11574 = 149,930,555 = 149 MegaPixels 8X10" (Inch) Film - 203 X 254 X 11574 = 596,782,407 = 597 MegaPixels 11X14" (Inch) Film - 279 X 356 X 11574 = 1,149,583,333 = 1.15 GigaPixels
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
