So, pro photographers are being asked to pay an extortionate amount for a 
device which will only give about 180 pixels per inch on an 11" x 8" 
printout, from something originally taken on say a Hasselblad??

I understand your concerns and explanation of sensor operation, but if the 
DCS Pro really only gives a 'true' 4Mp, surely the ouput will give the game 
away - no-one in their right mind would pay that much for it.  I must be 
missing something obvious..  (It's Friday, so my brain may be out of gear..)
