No it doesn't. The baying mob at teepee-revue once voiced openly that 4/3
was maxing out at 8MP. Well I guess the E-400 shut them up at least for
awhile. There were obviously others out there. Olympus seems to get FAR MORE
flak than other brands. Is that because they're willing to think
differently? Is it because of the Tall Poppy Syndrome - no one likes a
smarty pantz? Whatever it is, we're a huge way from maxing out the 4/3
sensor pixel count. It's almost three times what you think, Chuck.
