I must say I've never compared in any scientific way, but if an APS-C sensor camera is roughly on a par with Medium Format film then yes, you do have a point. A few more MegaPixels won't harm though - because if you get a good large image (lots of pixels) then shrinking the physical dimensions and automatically boosting the PPI surely gives you an even better image?

I can't see that H3DII actually selling at GBP124, can you? Isn't there some kind of 'reserve' price on e-Bay and similar sites? (I've never used it).

Advancing years? No, not really - I just though that a Medium Format Velvia still had the beating of any APS-C image. I was lucky in that I used to shoot with a Hasselblad 500CM..... I didn't have a choice in the matter, as it was for taking "intelligence" pictures of passing Soviet ships!
