Well, I've been using Satio for this last couple of days and I've changed my mind. I'll keep my E72 and I'll sell my silver Satio. I'll sacrifice some advantages of Satio's camera (mainly xenon and practical lens cover) for E72's overall experience, which is better in my opinion. For good photos I have my K-x!

Yeah man, sorry about that. Now imagehack has this zoom-in thing and that makes it download the full photo first. ;f

@Zide, I'm afraid your tests are flawed. I can see differences in your first post. I don't dismiss your intention, you clearly feel that the E72 results in a better picture.. probably due to your preference in the white balance.. many people prefer cooler temperatures to the warm balance the Satio has.
As for resolution, the Satio set to 12MP takes pictures with better detail than set in 5MP. You need to compare 12MP photo with 5MP photo.. don't resize.. look at the fine detail in each picture when you zoom down to near pixel resolution.
Your first test (resizing 5MP up to 12MP) clearly shows differences in picture quality, refuting your claim. If you can't see those differences, zoom in. But the real test should be done with 5MP photo against 12MP photo with no resize conversions.
As for white balance, every camera has it's own levels... in Auto mode, camera's from different manufacturers will have different white balance results as they have their own methods of determining the Auto levels. People's preference to a cool or warm level is down to individual perception and I agree, is enough in most cases to switch peoples decision on which camera to buy, even though all camera's have a manual white balance setting... which should ultimately be used, because Auto levels are just a convenient setting for general use and don't always get it right, depending on the conditions.

It's not just about white balance, when looking at details produced it's also a lot about how much noise reduction is put on the pictures, there's no point in having high resolution 12MP photos if the in-camera processing smears these details.
I agree it should be Satio 12MP vs E72 5MP and in photos taken in sunny conditions... where the cameras perform best.
