What I want to know is: which one will make a better 11x14 or 12x16" print? Looking at screen pixels is not the final product, even though it does tell us something. I am especially interested in comparisons of prints made from the Sigma Fovion images versus the new Olympus E-1 DSLR versus scans of film. Also, any other DSLR vs film scan prints.
