Re: why does digital looks better?

To tell you the truth I like the increased amount DOF and the in-camera 
sharpen of most high end digis, but i simply can not abide buying one of 
them when i feel i  really should be shooting MF for everything. and yeah I 
know that even the D60 will make acceptable 8x10, 11x16s and even a bit 
bigger... but i dont want just acceptable and frankly neither should you.
