I had to ask!

[another view]

Liz, I don't know that going from 6mp to 8mp is a big improvement in a lot of cases. I've made 16x24 prints with my 6mp and been quite happy.

Other things might make more sense though - less weight and could be better at high ISO speeds if you use them. Canon has done an excellent job with high ISO's and I'm sure this camera will be no exception. And then there's the fun of new equipment too...

Hi Steve,
Going from 6 to 8 is nice, but from what I've read, the improvement is more than the increase in mp's. "Newly developed large, single plate CMOS sensor. APSC size = same 3.2 ratio as film, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6 the norma EF lens focal length."

As much as I don't totally understand all of this, from what I gather from various sources, this new sensor - if it works - is supposedly an improvement over the previous sensors. It's similar, but not the same sensor, as the 20D. (taken from link below)

At any rate, the other features are also very enticing - especially the mirror lock up and the metering.

Thanks for the comments. I'm still trying to decide.
