I am considering a Nikon D1X. I print entirely on my Epson 7000 using
Piezography and MIS Variable Tone Inks. Without the use of Genuine
Fractals, has anyone with this camera printed to 16x20?  How is the
quality of image compared to scanning 35mm, MF, or 4x5 film and then
printing.

In RAW mode this camera approached 6 megapixels. Is this the camera,
or is it still a waiting game for the first 10 megapixel camera?

I too would love to know the answer to your question.

There is more to this equation than the mere pixel count. It is my
impression, correct me if I am wrong, that medium format professional backs,
even those giving as few 6 megapixel images, can give superb enlargements.
But are the images produced by the latest clutch of Canons and Nikons in the
same league?

If the comparison is with 35mm format, then the 'prosumer' digital is now
very close, if not actually there. But then most of us find that we need to
shoot in medium format or above to get high quality16x20 prints.
