Dear C.H.Ling,
I found this article very interesting.
I wanted to see if this perception I had about contrast of digital
images was true or false.

I still think a 5Mp camera without bayern pattern can beat 35mm film.
The main problem is color interpolation.
An Olympus E-4 with 10Mp with no color interpolation will be plenty
enough for our purposes.
