Digital BW, The Print

Oh Jerry,

Only if you lick the lense before you take the picture.  There is seriously
something wrong somewhere if you believe the above is true.  I shoot
Hasselblad and Rollei cameras, and I happen to make LOTS of 13x19 prints
from them, and I have lots of 6M pixel images, and the 13 x 19 prints from
the Hasselblad and Rollei are FAR better than the digital images from the 6M
pixel digital camera (which uses Nikon lenses BTW).  I think you're in
digital delirium.

I'd go for under $2k, and full frame, and I'd get it.

For 8x10 prints, sure, they easily can.
