Thanks Mountain. The twin lens is my personal favorite as well.
I always laugh when general camera users talk about megapixels. It only matters if you want to be able to crop images, and on that issue I always say just shoot the image the way you want it from the beginning. The second reason you'd want a mega amount of megapixels us if you're making large prints. I don't think the common consumer camera user is making a bunch of life sized posters...
Oh, by the way, just stumbled across a new user you'd probably like to check out: @willchristiansen . He's a nature photographer and documentary filmmaker.
I'll check him out, thanks for the heads up! Looks like he's from Seattle too. Nice.
