What this says to me, is that if you want to compare cameras these days, you now have to do it with A2 prints or bigger!

Which begs the question ...how many of us print that big? And if not, why are we bothering with big expensive bulky systems?


Errr,.. That is the drum I have been banging for several years.

Answer to your question, because many of us succumb to the Nikon marketing machine and 'peer pressure', as in if 'X' has it then it must be worth shelling out for.

I will say it again, my D200 produces images perfectly adequate for MY needs. The only drawback with the D200 is that it stumbles a little when photographing black cats in coal cellars, that's why I feel the need for a D3, to enhance my capacity for dark shadow detail.
