Quentin,

I have printed A3+ of a digital 3,3 MP Canon G1, and they may be ok for
simple photographs like a portrait, but as you say, for fine detailed
architecture, or, even more, for landscape/ nature shots they have a lack of
detail.

The Imacon Photo is about 5000$ now, in Germany almost noone seems to have
it, and way more expensive than the US price (min. 6500$) - that is still
much too much. If I buy one it will be one of the 3: Nikon Polaroid Minolta,
maybe the last one...

Bernhard,

My point about digital capture was - cut out the scanner and buy a
digital camera.  I use a fuji S1 and it produces outstanding
portraits at up to A3+ size.

(...)
By the way, the Imacon Photo has come down in price since I bought
mine 18 months ago.
