Everyone has their own rough limit for what they expect from a camera. For
me the four thirds limit is roughly 8x10 for landscape. The Canon 5D should
be good to about 16x20 but I haven't printed anything from it that large
yet. Film for me: 35mm +> 8x12 and 6x7 => 16x20. The four thirds bag feels
bigger and heavier than an OM bag, the 5Dii bag feels bigger and heavier
than a Mamiya 7ii bag. Therefore digital is bigger and heavier.
A monster that passed in the dark was when I said 20x28 from my Canham
(MQC57) in response to Chuck's monster I was referring to an enlargement
from 5x7 Velvia. (a slightly larger version of

I have no difficulty calling it the "monster" since the Canon backpack
with 5D, 3 lenses, flash and bracket, chargers, batteries, cables, light
meter, manuals, etc, etc weighs 17 pounds. 21 if you add the 80-200 and
its case. The A1 is a whole lot less but still a bit bulky at times. I
really do need a pocket camera. I haven't had one since I stopped using
the Stylus Epic. Even that's a bit large for a pocket camera of today.
