I shot some pix on Velvia ($15 a roll proc. incl.) and scanned them with my ages-old Minolta scanner (worth exactly zero on the open market). I made a print at home ($2.00) and guess what? The results blew my D50 and 18-70 lens ($1200 new) into the weeds. Now, a brand-new 10mpixel digicam may crush the Velvia, but I'd really want to be sure of this before I shelled out for it. And, PS, I could have had the Fuji drum scanned at 46mpixels! Good question, hope this helps:
