[Leica] What will 3 megapixels do for me?

I invited the LUG to my show last month and a few came out. I've made 30x40
enlargements from 2.1 mp, & 6mp digital cameras as well as leica shots on
film. None of the luggers who came out were able to accurately identify any
of the originating cameras. I'll let them chime in on image quality at those
sizes if they'd like rather than second guess them. And anybody who wants to
stop by and look at what I have left after the show is welcome to take a
guess as to what shot what.

Personally what I miss most about film is the latitude of tri-x -- I really
loved blasting a flash full on at a subject and then printing it for half a
minute to get a grainy image with five stops of latitutde.
