I have been wondering about the whole digital camera thing too. 
Right now the Cannon 1Ds seems to be the "resolution" champ among 
affordable cameras. I have seen reports claiming that is rivals 645 
color negative film. But, I have also heard it said that B&W work is 
much more demanding than color negatives. I wonder the max size for 
really good B&W print from the 1Ds.
