 Not too tough, I imagine a good scanner at it's highest settings will put
 out a file that big from the negative.  However, I doubt that doing a scan
 at that higher resolution is going to gain much when the neg was shot with
 a disposable camera lens, or when the film is the typical 400 or 800 ASA
 they cram into those cameras. >>

My point? Small format digital images have to be ~drum~ scanned then 
digitally interpolated to even get close to the raw data in a well exposed 24 
x 36 negative/slide, even it if is taken on quality ISO 400/800 film.

The question? How large will the CMOS be on the MZ-D? Larger than APS format, 
but smaller than 24 x 36?
