I can show you hundreds of pictures where digital or 35mm film will leave 4x5 in it's tracks (literally) simply because I can take either one of them places you can't or won't be taking a 4x5. Who said the issue is image quality? For me the issue is images period. There's a reason newspapers quit using 4x5 in their work. Not toys: images. A lot of people have toys and don't make images and they wouldn't do it no matter what black-box and glass apparatus they have.
