Does the 20+ MP actually matter? I've seen billboard material close up; it looks like it's something around 8DPI. Which means your 12MP produces something like a 30 foot image. (I don't know this area of business much at all, so the billboard material I've seen may be anomalous.) > It's a shot of a man throwing a child up in the air and catching him... > NO-way can I shoot this on the Mamiya.

The price will drop some probably. Are you worried about the quality of the final result currently, or only about client perception issues? -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
