How much are we talking? £25k?
£25million k.
No idea, but I'd guess it'd be in that area.

What nobody is explaining to me is what is the point of such things? How many people need to be able to make prints bigger than around 20 inches, which is really where there would be a point in having such high megapixel resolving power? A full frame 25mp dSLR can create a 20 inch print with more than enough detail for anyone's needs, probably near enough equivalent to the very best medium format camera. Anything bigger than that and you need a large format camera anyway (where film is still king, and will probably remain so). The dSLR then also blows any medium format camera away with its technical capabilities such as shutter speed range, 5fps shooting, sophisticated metering and focus systems etc etc etc., not to mention the dedicated systems (flash etc) and portability benefits. And all for a fraction of the cost of one of these beasts. I just don't really see the point of going down the digital MF route for all but very specialist photographers who might need to make prints the size of a wall.

The benefit in my line of work is large format printing - billboards and the likes. 80mp means that you can crop judiciously into the image without knackering resolution. Plus the Phase One is about as portable as a pro-level DSLR. You could certainly shoot handheld without any problems.
To be clear, I commission photographers with this type of equipment, there is no way on this planet I'd ever need or be able to afford that kind of equipment myself.
My tests on the Pentax 645D, showed that film was still significantly sharper
Ooer. Sensor density issues ?
Digi is shite issues
I dunno really, just not the resolution to compare to larger film formats...
Although plenty seem to be using backs to replace 5x4 film
Pentax 645d
film
To my eye there is more detail in the digital image, but a lack of detail in film is rendered more pleasingly as it's not made from pixels - the whole grain v noise argument.
Might be just me like.
Look at the word 'mortgage'... at the bottom of shop...
Also the lettering on the blue sign hidden behind the tree...
The differences were easier to see before I resized them for here like...
Aye, I see it now. Plus there's a lot more noise on the internal wall at the far left of frame. I actually tried a similar test between a 120 film medium format camera and a 12.4mp DSLR - the film camera trounced it, even at a fairly piddly scan resolution.
Your horizon is crooked btw.
