I don't think the Nikon digital system is going to end, C.H., and Nikon
has made it quite clear that they are not heading in the "bigger is
better" direction.
And while Canon has that 11 mgp body, it is also clear that that is, in
effect, a specialty camera - the great bulk of their line - including
their other "pro" bodies, are less than 7 mgp and are not full-sensors.
It seems to me the question is not how many mgps, but what can you do
with the sensor and get out of it.

Subject: Re: [OM] E-1 lenses resolution vs. conventional lenses - fact
or hype?
The concept of the E-system is the lenses are "System" lenses that are
capable to go with us to the next generation, if today we bought the
E-system lens and tomorrow we have to buy a new set that match the next
generation what will you think? We will all go away from Olympus! BTW,
there is no "few" years to wait, end of next year if Olympus does not
come out with a 8MP E-2 or E-3, the E-system will end.

> But to be a bit cynical, it would make sense to come out with lenses
matched to the current 5 Mpixel camera body, and then come out with a
far better (more smaller pixels) in a few years, with the corresponding
great-advance-in-the-art lens to match. Then we the faithful get to
generate a cashflow for many years to come. The trick is to get the
cost of initial entry down, to get us all slightly pregnant.
