I don't care what anyone says, a piece of 4x5 film drum-scanned or
Imacon-scanned at high, ~4000 dpi resolution has so much more information than
a Canon D1s that it's not even funny. This was obviously an apples-to-oranges
comparison.
Even at 2700 dpi, 4x5 has 145 million pixels! at 4000 dpi it jumps to 320
million!
What did he do the comparison with?
