George,
I take part in a few print exchanges, so I see a lot of actual prints every
month. At A4/Letter size you cant tell the difference between various
digital cameras at all, even through a loupe - the difference between 35mm
and larger format sizes (MF/LF) on film is readily apparent. I have not seen
any examples of MF digital, so I cant comment on that. Therefore I go back
and say that each design has its place and function, and that is the
rationale for acquiring it.
Cheers
Jayanand
