Funny this but traditionaly. ask a question re cameras, lenses or add ons and the experts arrive in droves. Ask a question which is fundamental to the whole digital thing and it is another matter.

Whatever the capabilities of a camera it is the ability of the printer to reproduce that capabilities. Just as in the old days, the enlarger lens was the deciding factor now that lens has been replaced with an ink distribution system. Does that ink distribution system match the pixel performance of the D3 sensor with it's ink nozzles?

As far as I know the Epson R2400 has been around since the D200, now are we saying that printer was so far ahead of it's time that it will match or equal the output of the D3?

Or is it another case as of old when people spent a fortune on cameras etc then scimped in the darkroom where their mates couldn't see it.

As I say I might be wrong and it might not work like this but to little old me if the printers not up to the camera what's the use of spending for the sake of it.
