This one could run...
I think it will be very difficult for the smaller sensors in DSLR's to ever match 35mm in terms of image quality (1.5x and 1.6x crop). You're just trying to cram too much information in a small space and often when you go above 6MP you stretch the lens to it's limit of resolution.
I would be interested if the "full frame" shooters on here could do a comparison, I suspect Paul, Genese and the Andy's have 35mm gear (I think the Andy's shoot full frame Canon?) Paul's first D3 picture had masses of apparent quality, sort of like an "X-factor" it just looks better.
Medium and large format will trounce anything for quality, medium format digital backs are silly money.
Maybe you should start a new thread.
