Re: [Leica] digital in low light

Are you suggesting that had he used the lastest Canon digital it would 
have smoked the 4x5? I believe the point he was making was that for a 
few hundred dollars one could get unsurpassed image quality. This whole 
digital thing has been framed in relation to 35mm film cameras. Why? If 
the issue is image quality why would one not go medium format? Or large 
format? The issue is not about image quality and never was. The issure 
is about toys.
