Re: [OM] Mega Pixel equivalent of medium format negatives

[Sawyer, Edward]

There isn't a digital camera made that can equal a Mamiya 7 ( or most 6x7 film 
cameras).  It Would take multiple stiching of 100+ digital photos to even come 
close, and even then would still be inadequate in several ways.
