24 Aug 2011 1:58PMThe days where the consuming public can be sheepishly or moronically conned into believing More is Better for MP count are certainly over! Sony, please go back to the basics! Besides, reducing the MP count will drastically lower the cost of the camera too! That simple.
Otherwise, this is a fantastic camera
