Very well then, if you want to make a comparison that calls for film to be
viewed as a projected slide, make

How can any test that gives one side that much of a monetary advantage be
stacked against the side with more money?

IIRC Texas Instruments was into that. You're speaking 6 figures prices.

What's the resolution of the Canon projector? Can it utilise the full
resolution of the digital files, or are they resized, perhaps downwards, to
fit the projectors LCD? Also, if LCD monitors can't be calibrated like a
CRT can be, it may be that the LCDs in these projectors are equally 'wild'.

I wanted them to be the exact output of the respective cameras, without
further processing or compression artifacts. I somehow hoped that I will
see some differences, in the color rendition and local contrast dept.,
but no luck, the projector was a very good equalizer. No notable
