You've repeated that at nauseam, Craig, but you miss the point.
When digital photography was still evolving, I made a really simple prediction.
Digital still cameras will only overtake film cameras when the image pixel
count reaches about 15 Mpels. Using that same simple arithmetic. This was the
point at which the weakest link in the chain, the lens, would equally affect
the two types of cameras.
Sure enough, when the first 13 Mpel camera came out, the late Modern
Photography magazine had a huge splash about how equity had just been achieved.
This is exactly the same thing. I'm not talking about just archiving. I'm
talking about movies watched at home, up close to the screen, and movies
watched in the theater, would potentially be of equal image quality. And where
the weakest link in that chain is the lens and not the image sensor.
So as often happens, we're talking about two different things.
