Assume a DC with 16MP and a 70mm (35mm equ.) lens. If you want to crop it to
4MP, you need a lens its angle of view is half of the 70mm that means you
need a 140mm lens. The E-10 is only 4MP, so I set it to 140mm and assume the
picture is cut from a 16MP DC with 70mm lens.

Yes, I also found the same, the scanned picture looks cooler than the slide
(my monitor is set at 5000K and also my light box) but the slide is still
coolor than the DC shoot. I have set the DC to 5500K, I expected the picture
will have similar color but it didn't. It was directly scanned from Nikon
4000ED.

? can you tell me which one, if you mean the 8th windows from the left of
"16" that is a dust on the film. I have not use ICE function to prevent any
further resolution loss.

The problem is people like to have less grain, that is why they go large
format, now the DC is clearly the winner.
