Your post got me looking on eBay at these cameras. Reading the product description of the Canon EOS !D Mark1 (The high-resolution XL (eXtra Large) CCD uses 4.15 megapixels to create a true 11.7 MB file in a photographic 2: 3 aspect ratio.). I've had a few 4mp cameras and none of them would produce a 11mb file. A 10.2 mp XTI won't make a 11.7mb file. How can this be?
