I think I know what Chris means, if it's the same as I failed to get across
a while back.  

Let's try a different way.  It's not about the ability of the camera capture
to deep black through to bright white in one exposure, but about the ability
of the entire system (whether that is digicam to inkjet print/film camera to
silver halide print/film camera to transparency) to output as much of that
range as possible.  

I believe that a projected transparency will output brighter whites and
darker blacks than anything put on paper by whatever means.  Is that what
you mane by "luminance range", Chris?

I am really not sure what you mean by luminance range. If you are talking
about zones as used by Ansel Adams, what is the usual opinion on slide film,
5 1/2 stops? Here is a Nikon site where what he calls dynamic range on Nikon
digital SLRs range from 6+ to 8+ stops. It confirms my subjective experience
that its exposure range is a little wider than slide film.
