Ask a 1Ds MKII owner if he thinks his 16.7 MP sensor is "superfluous". Also, bear in mind it is a Foveon sensor, so the 14 megapixel nomenclature is deceptive if comparing to a similar Bayer-type array. The actual image produced only has 14/3 megapixels. Are you impressed now?
I can't believe that Sigma has come out with a fixed lens digital compact (a great idea, I might add) and thrown a lame-duck f/4.0 lens it. What a spectacularly idiotic move.
