Be sure to check out the Canon EOS-1Ds at that site. 11 megapixel, full-frame CMOS sensor, up to 1250 ISO equivalent. If I had 8 grand burning a hole in my pocket, I'd buy one today. But I don't.

You are too quick! I hadn't scrolled far enough before mentioning the EOS-1Ds. I want it but not yet - too much money.

Yup, there are quite a few things out there now that surpass 6MP, it's just how much you want to pay. The Sigmas with the Foveon sensor actually fall into the 3MP category, but with the Foveon, it's effectively 3MPx3. And for what they're asking (~$1,500) it's a steal, especially with all of the features. (Not many digicams do instant histograms).

I don't have that kind of money. The new Pentax Optio S ("fits in a mint tin") is what my money's on at the moment. I need something to complement my big-a$$ SLR, and the Optio S reviews from CES were amazing.
