In many instances, the camera can capture images of things that photographers cannot see themselves but can then detect when the image is viewed later.
I found my K10D would do that with 10MP, but then maybe my eyesight (even with specs) is not 20-20.In many instances, the camera can capture images of things that photographers cannot see themselves but can then detect when the image is viewed later.
I suppose as technology moves on GB pics will be the norm and PCs (if they still exist as such) will have 100TB hard drives and speeds to match. How long ago was it that 1.3MP cameras were the'cutting edge' and 'why would you want anything more than a 20MB hard drive'

My first hard drive was 20Mb. 20 years later I now run 3TB hard drives.
That's a 150,000x increase. In 20 years if I'm still alive ( eek! ) will I be running 450Pb ( petabyte ) drives

Now, should I put off my K5 purchase and wait for the Pentax version......
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog!
