I believe these types of statements are really at the best based on poor investigative techniques. Reason for using larger formats like 6x7 is that you get a much improved picture compared to 35 mm in terms of resolution, color gradation.. simply much more information. people who hope for a digital small format camera who can better large format gear will have to wait long time.
The same underlying resolution problems with optics are present with digital as well as analog cameras leaving a maximum resolution above which nothing can be done.... so small format vs larger formats will always have the same basic differences optically!!!!!!! Are these guys who tout these truths that digital outbeat any medium format gear paid by the manufacturers? What can be improved from digital then with respect to analog: Lenses - no Recording - maybe?? Analysis in your own darkroom - yes. As Paal says comparing scanned media (with what type of scanner) with medium format analog prints vs digital - do that properly... Cheers, Ronald
