Digital BW, The Print

Websites like dpreview.com have said for years that it's no longer about megapixels.

I disagree - people like me are not aiming to print 4x6" snaps, but more like 18x18" - so, keeping my images to between 20-50mp gives me what I'd be wanting from a film camera.

I only have a D70, so stitching mosaics is my only option - but it works well, mostly. Unfortunately it takes a lot of disc space, because there's a lot of redundancy with all the overlapping images.

If it wasn't about megapixels, then 35mm would have made large format cameras obsolete. 

Some people just needed medium or large format. I am one of those and for us, we still need medium format in the digital era.

Common sense!

Great photo by the way - I'm glad you find the camera adequate.
