[Sylvain]

I fully agee on the virtues of smaller cameras and that results can be very good. However I think that for a fixed lens camera, a longer zoom reaching beyond the 70 equiv mark is more desirable than a 24 equiv WA setting.

 

You've read that many times I'm sure, but you can't crop an image to make it wider.

On the contrary, with 20MP, one can crop to get to that 100mm equiv. without losing too much. 

 

I'm clearly in the camp of the happy to have 24mm.

 

Just my two cents. =-)
