I do hope that it puts pressure on the mfdb makers to lower their prices, I'm actually counting on it. But, even now, with say the Aptus 22 or other lower MP backs, I don't see them. What I see on a regular basis and what makes up the majority of the files that come my way are P45, P30+, and Leaf 75. I rarely see a 22 or P21, P25. I see more film than either the lower mfdb or dslr or even Sinar or Hass files, not that I see a lot, but it's still out there and being shot for ads. I think this is because of the latitude of manipulation that the higher MP files allow, the ability to crop in and that so much of what I work on is repurposed from a single page mag ad to a point of purchase display, banner or billboard. A 22mp dslr can't compete. I doubt that a 24mp will or even be asked to. Sure it can, but it won't look as good and when a client is spending all that money on a campaign, they want the best the photo technology world has to offer. And, as stated previously, the lenses on the dslrs continue to leave a lot to be desired. The gap is narrowing, but the gap still firmly exists.
