I am trying to find a digital compact pocket camera that can produce high quality B&W artful images of full tonal range for 16x20 inkjet prints suitable for gallery exhibition that come closest to the old film on fibre print quality:
1. Any opinions or discussion on the viability of achieving this ambitious goal?
2. Any success or failure stories out there?
2. Can anyone suggest compacts to consider or should one wait till these small chip cameras improve their noise reduction algorhythms and increase higher ISO ratings and resolution? A very short list seems to be Panasonic LX2, Leica DLUX3, Fuji A30, Canon A800. Shooting RAW seems most likely.
Frank Piechorowski's posted nu__ (abbrev unclothed0 image (Pulchritudinous) is a wonderful example of full tonality captured as a monochromatic image. However, Frank indicated he is using a Canon 10D DSLR.
