For years now, the world’s camera companies have been taking the public for a ride. They’ve taught us to believe that what makes one camera better than another is the number of megapixels it has — when, in fact, the number of tiny colored dots making up a photo has very little to do with its color, clarity or even detail.

Very cool. Combine this with the news about the next Canon G11 actually shrinking the megapixels supported from 14 to 10 and it looks like finally, the megapixel marketing tide might be turning. We might someday be able to take good pictures indoors without flashes, blurs or bad grain. Now if they'd only add a really fast lens to these, we might get even more amazing pictures. Sigh…I miss my Canon A-1+50mm f1.2 lens.
