Actually, we were talking about the technical merits of one format
vs. the other. Things like resolution and color fidelity can absolutely
be measured and quantified. Aesthetic things like noise vs. grain are
just that... aesthetic. That means that the quality is a function every
individual that evaluates it. In other words, meaningless as a measure of
"quality" because everyone has their own opinion.
Other things like reduced depth of field for larger formats should
be considered part of the composition, not the performance of the
technology.
