Resolution, probably.  Definition and contrast, maybe not.  My Olympus
C-700, and *certainly* my dad's $2000 E-10 SLR, get *excellent* contrast,
and if I print on a dye-sub continuous tone printer, the photos they take
are above the effective resolution of the printer anyway.  Makes an
excellent facsimile of a photograph.

Peace...  Sridhar
