Re: [OM] how many megapixels here?

Check the upper picture on this page

Look above the index finger of the right hand and notice the sweeping 
curve running from pentaprism area back to the eyepiece area.  That's 
why I think the camera is a Mamiya 645 and likely with digital back

The sensors for this camera are 48x36 vs 24x36 for 35mm.  Canon, Nikon 
and Sony DSLRs can probably rival the pixel count assuming he has one of 
the smaller sensors but the 645 pixels will be twice as big.  But the 
35mm sensor can probably still do very well in good light and most of 
his photos are taken in pretty good light.

We can ask Bob Whitmire whether he's done any really large prints off 
his new Nykon.  How does it do on a 40" print?
