Good luck.
 
Moore's law works mostly by shrinking the die size of the chip. Making them
big is much tougher.

Hello Mark,

In general I agree with what you said, but here's what I'm hoping for:
Moore's Law will continue alive and well. That is, a few years from now
maybe the cost of 16-22 megapixel medium format backs will be in the price
range of where the Canon 1Ds is now--uh, where "normal" folks might be able
to afford it--and I'll break out the Hassey outfit with its wonderful Zeiss
glass, and be creating images that no small image sensor could touch. Me
thinks that all of a sudden those used Rollei's and Hassy's that everyone is
dumping now will mysteriously become very valuable again.
