Jon,
You can make out with JPGs? You have much better eyesight than I have! I
cannot even make out differences up to A3+ sized prints (and I have tons of
them of sizes from A4 to A3+, shot with every conceivable system over the
last 10 years)! I have come to the conclusion that you shoot with what is
comfortable in your hands for what you want to photograph. Period.
Cheers
Jayanand
