Interpolation BAD... (more)

Rod,

>>>...I know when I scan slides into the puter & try any interpolation it makes the image softer, less sharp. Why would any serious photographer want a camera that claims an interpolated mega pixel?<<<

Personally, internal interpolation is B-A-D bad! If i wanted to play around to add FAKE resolution/pixels there are software solutions that will most probably do a much better job than the internal built-in camera solutions. IMHO the camera should simply have the ability to do a 1:1 output of the CCD/CMOS to whatever imaging software package you desire. THEN let us humans with software at our disposal to manipulate from there. Kodak has LONG been using interpolation BTW...

>>> Is it the small amount 5.4mp to 5.9mp that makes it acceptable?<<<

NO interpolation is acceptable IMHO as it generally seems to be used for the MARKETING GUYS to wave their flag about "high resolution numbers" versus TRUE photographic benefits.

Just my humble 2 yen.

Enjoy the music,
