Erwin, as others have said, we are a disputatious lot.  Please don't go off in a huff because others disagree with you - that's just one of the unavoidable facts of life.

For what it's worth, your calculations make both logical and intuitive sense to me.  We're getting darned close to the crossover point where for consumer 35mm-equivalent image capture digital gives as good or better resolution than film - in actual use, not in the theoretical-limits sense.

Now if they could only put that capability into a camera I'd want to use.  I held a D30 last weekend, and I sure am glad I have Leicas.
