Dunno - just looking at the lens tests, at least as far as lines/mm
resolution are concerned, plus the on-line pictures of the Oly D-600L,
things are coming right along. These are for still pictures, though,
so if you look at overall image size, I doubt at this point if you
could generate 70mm or larger images at a reasonable (read consumer)
price.

Of course, I'm looking at them with a computer monitor, but people
who have printed the high res images via dye sub printers say they look
very good. I'm tempted to jump into still photodigital at this point,
which I have not been before (but the price is still pretty limiting),
even at $1200 US...
