Hey, I don't shoot 4x5. I'd love to, but can't afford it from a time/money/hassle standpoint. It is just that part of the mp race is chasing the film look. The lionshare for the consumer side is marketing though.

Just look at Burtynsky's work. You can't do that with digital. Period.

As for me, I'd settle for wider usable ISO. I'd like ISO 50 and *usable* 400+. NR algorithms can do really nasty things. The Venus III engine on my Leica is pretty ugly at 800.

That being said I've pondered upgrading my D70 (5mp). I print at 8x10 and I can see some artifacts at that size. I'm thinking that 10mp should be sufficient for up to 13x19.
