The price has come down then! Last time I saw a review of a medium digital back it was over the 22,000 sterling mark. Two pages further on they had an ad for the same back slung around the back of a jeans-wearing cowboy in the wilds of the west! The chances of one of those backs stepping foot outside a studio is probably nil.

Regarding the shootout, there's a big difference in looking full size crops from a file and looking at the entire image compressed into a few hundred pixels in jpg format (as the medium format prints are) which is what I was commenting on. When you reduce an image to those dimensions and compress it with a jpg engine then you've virtually wiped out the advantage of medium format v's digital or 35mm. It seems in detail and sharpness digital won that bout.
