Obviously in an A3 print no one will be the wiser.I'll admit I'm a pixel peeper, and when I get my 8x10 negative drum scans back from West Coast a grain peeper
Now my wife on the other hand is not and could care less.When I showed her the screen grabs on my 24" Eizo Coloredge monitor, and said pick out the side that shows better detail, she nailed it instantly.In a print I seriously doubt it.
Its so close these days when it comes to the smaller prints like A3, its almost moot point imho which camera you shoot if your like me and always use base iso.Below is a screen grab I did for fun comparing the 5DmkII and G10 at base iso, uprezzing the G10 to match the mkII.I then printed them out at 12x15 on A3/SuperB Harman Gloss FB AI via my 4800, and no one could tell the difference
I'm keeping the K20D, selling the K10D, and trying out the 550D to use strictly on a Nodal Ninja 5 pano head.If it doesn't work out no worries, ship it back.I almost sprang for a 5DmkII, but if I'm going to carry around that weight I figure I'll just carry the 4x5 which is no heavier, and has much better image quality when scanned on a Tango.
