14 MPix... sigh. Doesn't look like the megapixel race is abating much, though I'm glad not to see "14 Megapix" plastered across the front of the thing.
When can we get some single-number, John-Q-Public-understandable specs for signal to noise, dynamic range, and color fidelity... and start competing on those, instead of this now-inane Megapixel race?
I bought a well-reviewed compact camera from a well respected brand last year, and honestly... the image quality is little better than a cell phone. Just lots more pixels... of trash.
That's the last camera I buy until either the Micro Four Thirds market fills out, or they take compact camera IQ back to where it was at the 6-8 MPix level.
Really, a little consumer education shouldn't be that difficult for this industry.
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"
