Eh, a 4x5 film camera can get you about 100MP of non-Bayer resolution if you have a lens that is sharp enough: https://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/100mp.htm

That would require about ~200MP Bayer.




Large format might never be matched by digital. Its trivial to make a larger "sensor" by spreading gelatin on a larger piece of glass.

Thats hard to do with digital.


The best resolution and dynamic range I ever saw was a Camera Obscura set up at Maker Faire over a decade ago.

Then again, that's not really practical for storing and transmitting an image!


People like Ansel Adams would shoot 8x10 as well
