David Hobby over at Strobist just posted a blog entry explaining why he choose to move to MDF and plans to pass up the upgrade to a D4. You can see his reasoning at http://strobist.blogspot.com/2012/01/bailing-on-nikon-d4.html.
It also prompted me to post the comparison photos I did right after I added the P65+ to my arsenal. I did a four way comparison using a Canon G10, a Canon 7D, a Canon 1DsMk3 and the P65+. For my purposes, I wanted to what happens when I photograph the same scene with each camera, and then size the file to make a 24 by 36 inch print at 360 PPI.
I'm sure people will complain about how I did the comparison, but I choose that approach because it was valid for what I wanted to see. Naturally, if you want to ask a different question, then you should use a different testing approach.
You can see my samples with roll-over images at http://www.craigstocksarts.com/medium_format. Naturally, there's a step up in image quality with each step up in camera, but each step up in camera is a roughly four-fold increase in cost.
