Chris, while I agree that the D2h is a terrific camera, I do not see 
how you will not get
better results from a 8MP camera like a 1D mk2 (or D20) at 16x20. 4MP 
also leaves you
with no extra pixels to crop in on. There's no slack in the system. 
Lets hope that Nikon
follows through on the rumors and bumps the MP to 8 or 10.
