Craig, I disagree with you. I think the limitation in resolution in the dig cam has to do with the encoding speed of the chip inside the camera. The pixel data that the camera collects has to be encoded in MPEG (or JPEG ???) format and it may take a long time. If you can afford to spend a couple of minutes between pictures, then the dig cam can be designed to produce all the resolution you want. I don't have the link with me right now but NEC is working on a chip to speed up processing time in dig cam, dig phone, DVD, etc. In the future, you will see better chips for the dig cam and resolution will improved. Plus you need more storage to store all those pixels. For more readings on the subject of MPEG encoding, see: exchange2000.com exchange2000.com Mike.
