I suspect the "generations" effect is why it takes less resolution in a DSLR to be equivalent to film. That is, the EOS-1Ds Mark II, at 16Mpixels, is considered to be as good as scanned film, which generally exceeds 30MPixels. I saw a website that compared drum to a dedicated film scanner, with the claim that you really don't get the full stated resolution with a film scanner. <<<<<<<<<<<<<< I've never seen a drum vs. 4000 ppi Nikon comparison that I thought showed a ntoiceable or significant advantage to the drum scan. The differences are very much on the order of counting angels on heads of pins. And the 12.7 and 16MP Canons look a lot more like 645 than 35mm, in terms of print quality at 12x18. (This guy is printing a lot bigger than I would, and thus is agonizing over really minor differences.) http://www.shortwork.net/equip/review-1Ds-SQ-scantech/ David J.
