I just upgraded my digital camera(it came yesterday) to a new 5 MP(was only $309 for a camera with a LEICA lens).....and a 512MB SD card cost me only $31 after rebate.....I was amazed to see what was out there....Canon has a 16.7 megapixel camera on the market(if you have $8000 to spare)......I believe the equivalent megapixel number for 35mm is approx 10M so we are climbing well above that already.
