Perhaps, but I would argue. You describe a perfect system, with perfect
images created on perfectly expensive stuff. BTW: I have seen Leif Backs
and they are good. We evaluated Leif for our department, but without
equally expensive methods of printing those images, we decided against
it. Now, we use a cheap 2.3 Mega Pixel camera, but it works.
As for 4x5, I still think it will win. Especially against lower end
systems. the system you describe is not low end, so the
writer/photographer would have to spend lots of money to get what he
wants.
