Hi: Seymore;

"Yes" to running the 3.2 all out but "no" to running another camera any
higher IE. if you have a 6.2 camera ability it is a great waste of space and
if one is like me I shoot all my picture with the Fuji s5000 on full 3.2(6)
and if I am not wanting anything more I would not run higher.

I take all my nature shots and others and put them on my computer where I
can take hours scrutinizing them.  My next camera will have at least a 6 mp
capacity and probably the 8 but I would not use up the maximum unless I knew
it would be for larger format pictures.

But I must say this, the Digital camera age gives us abilities we never had
with the 35mm camera's I can go home and run my own show shots on larger
format printers and that is an art that many people will be getting into
when printer inks drop and they are and will.

So, as I support what you for the 3.2 I think I will not use any other
higher levels I like being able to take my 80 shots each and every day.

One day after shooting on low settings I wanted to print larger that 6x4
only to find out that it was too grainy, now I shoot all pictures on 3.2.

If my ability to print larger format changes I might then say, yes, are
right, use the full potential from shot to finish.
