i walk by a 40 foot by 6 foot poster at Grand Central Station in NYC every weekday, close enough to touch it. it changes every few weeks depending on the advertiser of the day. undoubtedly it was shot on medium format or larger. you will have a hard time convincing me that it has more real resolution than a Canon 1Ds. i just have to put up my hand to measure the finest real detail.
