But, using your example I could say that with current technology, a 12000X8000 FF sensor would also be crap. So it all comes down to a compromise of pixel size and pixel quality with given technology.By the way I do not own a 5D Mark II (although I know very well its capablilites from a colleaque which we go bird photography on a regular basis), but a 40D, and actually I might buy the 7D very soon, so no sentimantal links with any of the above mentioned bodies!Thanks</blockquote>
