Deep in a cabinet I found my 20-year-old Optio 33L, a very portable little thing with a mighty 3.2 MP sensor. I took a few shots with it while taking a walk around the neighborhood. This is one:

Two things surprised me: First is the quality of the images; and second is how much I could manipulate them in Lightroom. I was surprised to be able to adjust the exposure, sharpness, and contrast, and even use the brush.

Comments always appreciated!

An interesting pic. 3.2 Mp is more than enough for the web.

Yes, the result is very good.

We still have an Olympus C-500 compact (5Mp) & a Pentax K110D (6Mp)
which both do quite well if you are prepared to use you feet or zoom to
fill the frame. Useless for bird photography. 2 frame portrait Pano's
double the Mp. I read an article on simulating a K1 using a K5 or K3
like that.

Here's an example with the K110D & FA 80-320 at full stretch uncropped:

Until the *istD came along I used a 3MP Canon PowerShot G1.
A great little camera - I gave it away to someone who used
it for quite a few more years!
(The camera claimed "3.3Megapixels", but that was the size
of the CCD - the largest images it produced were 2048x1536).

Here's a shot from the Long Beach 2003 Race Weekend:
