"The Fiddlehead chart doesn’t leave much room for error, which is the point. This can be important as some cameras “cheat” resolution either by using sensors with lower horizontal resolution or by recording images with decreased horizontal resolution."  Art Adams, "Stunning Good Looks" Article, Provideo Coalition, February 25 2010.
