Here's an idea. I think all of us could agree to one thing, and that is: what finally matters is how good the print looks. (Okay, some folks only care about web published images, so you guys can get lost--no offense.) There needs to be an art show where what we are judging is the actual prints. Some will use digital cameras, some film scanners. We get a chance to really judge the final result, the result beyond all theory, the result that we can see on paper with our own eyes!
Maybe we could enlist Camera Arts in this competitive show, since they publish art photography and also have been publishing a series of digital articles. The title of the show is "Digital Camera Prints vs Film Scan Prints". There should probably be some classes involved, such as scanned medium format in a separate class, since many of us are only scanning 35mm. What does everyone think? We can theorize about this forever, apparently. There have been maybe a hundred posts debating this issue of how digital pixels compare to scanned pixels, how printer upscaling effects it, etc. Why not have an opportunity to demonstrate--on paper--the best of each technology, and let the judges make a call?
