Slide film outdoes digital in real dynamic range (no HDRing or levels push in post process). Depth of field is the same, just different recording size (like discussed in this video). M7 is a 35mm SLR, not a medium format like the S2. Still incomparable. It's more logical to compare a Leica M7 with 50mm ƒ/1.4 Summilux-M against a Nikon F3HP with 50mm ƒ/1.4 AIS using the same slide film. We're done arguing with you.

[Lilkiwiguy87]

How disappointing. No, it's not the S2 that delivers the quality, it's the S2's lenses. In this case, you can't compare a S2 against a M7 when it comes to quality; it's always the lenses.

[Lilkiwiguy87]

Nope, we're perfectly happy with Leica M7 that everybody calls it "outdated".

[Lilkiwiguy87]

Don't know, we don't have the Leica S2.

Manufacturers are still increasing the MP count due to a marketing demand for a small deal of commercial photographers who make billboard and/or poster prints. Unfortunately, also for a great deal of people who never made a print bigger than 8x10 before in their lifetime.

If comparing two super tiny prints from 1MP and 10MP cameras, you'll get the same results. However, there will be a big difference if they're enlarged unless you're viewing from a really far distance.

@Lilkiwiguy87 ..Thank you for the quick reply and forgive me for asking about 'nonsense'. If pixel density isn't of any relevance whatsoever why are manufacturers continuing to increase them?

That seems to suggest that a 1MP camera would produce an image of equal quality to a 10MP camera since pixels makes no difference given equal quality lenses.

It was just a question from someone admittedly very new to digital cameras....sorry to bother you and thanks again for the info presented.
