John, I am not sure when we pass emulsion film as far as resolution is concerned... ...but we must be pretty close. From a practical standpoint, however, there still needs to be a convenient way to display these multi-megapixel images on photographic paper. As much as I love my Epson printer, my Canon EOS 35mm camera sets the bar pretty high. Inkjet just isn't there yet. The Canon G1 has several nice features. Very solid construction with a crisp LCD screen, a bundled Lithium battery, 16 MB of SanDisk CF storage, very brief (almost imperceptible) shutter lag, relatively rapid shot-to-shot time thanks to an internal buffer, and very high image resolution. On the fine (large) resolution setting with mild JPEG compression the file sizes are about 1 MB each. I can fit 130 or so images on a 128 MB SanDisk CF. There is also a Quicktime movie mode that takes 30 second clips at 320x240 resolution. These eat up about 5 MB of storage space each. The only problem is that the zoom, the autofocus and autoexposure become fixed at one value once you start a movie clip. Also, the resolution leaves much to be desired. You have to view it in a relatively small window on your PC (about 2 1/2" x 4") for it to be sharp. Aus
