We have the Canon 5DSR and it is amazing. It shoots a 50 mega pixel image (8688x5792 pixels) and if I save a image in tif file format is is a 143 MB file.

We just printed a 40x60 for a client of their "campus" and surrounding area with downtown OKC in the background and it is just amazing. We used to use a 2.25" x 2.75" (6x7 cm) film camera to shoot those photos and the 120 frame of film has been surpassed in quality by a 35mm size frame of pixels.

I have worked as professional in photography since I was 15 and the rise of digital totally revolutionized everything. It would require a 4x5 frame of film to surpass the quality of a single shutter click of the new digital cameras. And the 4x5 frame of film would have to be perfectly exposed, from a tripod. Not just a hand held happy snap.
