Ya, that's a good point.   O :-)

Indeed, How can we talk about the "sharpness" of a _camera_ when its own file format
frags the image integrity and quality way beyond what any lens aboration or poor
imaging system usually does?

Hmmm, so maybe it does boil down to the best implimentation of the jpeg codec then(?).
So it all about DIGIC then?

BTW, I thought the A70 could do uncompressed using "RemoteCapture" and
"wrote" jpegs to the card.  Is that wrong?   I'm not sure.

Anyway I still think it's impossible or difficult at best to discuss the
image "sharpness" of a camera when all you have is JPEG to deal with.
Well, unless something else is very wrong with the camera.

This is a "discussion" group after all.  Right?
