It stands to reason that 16x24 and 24x36 cameras are closer than it

Shhhh!!!! Don't tell Mark!!!!
Oh, hmmm, ahem, well. Let me see. My understanding is that Mark is doing
somewhat special kind of photography, mostly (daylight) landscape and
nature. This is where Sony A850 will shine with its extended dynamic
range, great many pixels and excellent color fidelity. I also think that
Mark is using top grade glass (Carl Zeiss, etc) and a proper technique
(tripod, etc). It is then most likely that he extract the most from his
24x36 gear.
However for other kinds of photography: street, casual portrait, travel
and even for landscape some of the 24x36 advantages are not all that
advantageous, so to say. Surely and verily there is an improvement, but
its value may have been (deliberately?!) overestimated.
Just to make it certain - mine is not the case of a fox and unripened
grapes...
