That's why I was asking what the price would be for a sensor of the size 6x6 or 4x5 or 8x10 film. Given that bigger is better, when do you think we will have digital sensors that rival (in image quality, not actual physical size) those film sizes, and at what cost, if ever ? Had film photography started out in the small sizes (say 35mm), I have my doubts that film sizes like 8x10 even exist today. - - Phong > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Frank > Dernie > Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2003 5:24 AM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Re: [Leica] Panasonic DMC-FZ10 with Vario-Elmarit lens > > > Have a look at > > http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/valeo22- > revisited.shtml > > cheers > frank > > > On Saturday, November 29, 2003, at 07:09 am, Phong wrote: > > > Mark Rabiner wrote: > >> Would the law of bigger the better film/sensor acrerage not exist > >> between the 35mm sensor sizes and the medium format sensor sizes?
