I don't care about the "but it's really just a digital image" people.
Other than some high-end B/W, the best way to process an image these days
is using digital.

There is however, a bit of truth in that statement. An image does look
different on a screen than it looks in print. For high resolution images,
it is prints that we care about. So any real world quantative approach
would have to take the effects of printing into account.



Frankly, if I had realized that it was our buddy, Dougie from Down Under, I
wouldn't even have bothered to reply.
But I feel, as you do, that a print from both sources is the only way to
compare, since that is the final product for me. After all, if all you're
going to do is display on the internet, or email the images, 8-16 megapixels
is so much overkill as to beggar the term...
