Digital BW, The Print

Hi Jerry,

Equals WHAT film?  Not ALL film, that's for sure.

For a 13 x 19, the D60 gives you 162PPI to the printer (3072 / 19 = 162).
For scanned film you'll get a lot more than that, and it'll be quite usable
with a decent film.  The Bayer pattern gives you far less color information
than film (though it's really not that bad, but it is degraded somewhat),
and for grayscale, the Bayer pattern isn't nearly as good as film.

Now, don't get me wrong...it's a great camera, and you'll get great images
from it...but I challenge the claim that it'll give you a 13x19 same as film
in all circumstances, because it won't.  I have a TRUE color 9M pixel sensor
camera (it is a scanning camera, so I get REAL RGB pixels, not the %50
Green, %25 Red and %25 Blue that the Bayer pattern sensors give you that
gets interpolated to give you 6M INTERPOLATED pixels), and the 13 x 19s from
it aren't as good as I get from film, in most all instances.  That, of
course, depends on the film, development and exposure.
