Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

That's also questionable, and has me wondering what on earth you were
looking at.  Do the arithmetic.  A 3M pixel image is basically 2100 x 1400,
let's say.  That would be 1400 pixels of image data over a 30 inch span...or
1400/30 pixels/inch or 46.6 pixels/inch to the printer?  Now come on, Jerry.
Do you REALLY believe that a print that has only 46PPI is going to look any
good?  It won't, it'll be nothing but pixelation.

They did something to the image, obviously, to get it to look as it did.
That isn't the work of the camera, but the work of someone who is proficient
in manipulating the image.  IMO, it's dishonest, unless they clearly stated
exactly what was done to the original image, and they compared it to an
image from a comparable Bayer pattern camera that had the image processed
the same (as suitable) way.  Even if they did disclose the workflow, it's
still not an honest image comparison of the CAMERA.
