Naveed, thanks for sharing the size comparison link. That is extremely useful.
I agree with most of what everyone is saying here. I do hope we will soon arrive at a day when we don't have to argue so much about digital noise, color bit depth any more.
My camera journey started with the Pentax MX, a wonderfully small, fully mechanical camera, then I moved up to the LX before I plunged into the auto focus world with an Canon Elan (what happened to eye-control focus). My favorite non-digital camera is the Canon EOS 3. I also inherited a Rollei 35 (talking about small, FF) and a hasselblad and assorted lenses from my dad.
After a few Canon EOS bodies, I now use the aging 40D. But as I am more interested in travel and street photography and less nature/landscape, my current Panny GX1 is almost perfect. But as most of you have guessed, the image quality is not quite there yet. My big Canon gears are reserved for sport and macro only.
This year's Photokina is very interesting indeed. I was disappointed by the lack of a Canon 7D replacement though.
Cheers,
Richard
