4-6 years for price-performance parity with MF. I've been tracking -- and 
predicting -- digital price and performance since my Apple QuickTake in the 
early 90's, and haven't been off by more than a couple years.

Price-performance parity for 35mm is very near, within 18-24 months. 4x5 will 
take until about 2012.
