It's 150M degrees Electron Temperature.

Coincidence? I hope so...

What smd75 is talking about (but doesn't convey well) is the depth of the image. Early digital was strictly 8-bits per pixel, and a very small gamut. RAW gives us 12 to 14 bits of depth per pixel. In cantrast, my 4x5 Provia transparencies, wet-scanned on a drum scanner, give me 16-bits of depth per color channel per pixel: 48 bits per pixel. This lets me get to the detail in zone 2 that's locked up in black on a digital image. Regarding megapixels, my 4"x5" analog sensor (film) is able to give me the equivalent of about 130 megapixels, and the sensor costs me about $2.25 a sheet. For comparison, Leaf is selling a 56megapixel camera back for medium format for only $33,000.

Look at Better Light scanners, but keep your eye on your wallet. These are $20,000 for the top-of-the-line. The downside to scanning in-camera is that the scans take quite a while (for a scan equal to a 4x5 transparency). Don't try to take a picture of anything that might move in that time period - like leaves moving in a mild breeze, ocean waves, people, ... and expect it to look 'right'. They are best used on static oblects like making archival images of paintings and the like.

4x5 cameras don't have 'through the lens metering'. Just about the only way to be sure you got the right exposure is to expose a polaroid 4x5 sheet in a special polaroid 4x5 sheet holder. This lets you check focus, exposure, see if there's any vignetting, etc. If it looks right on the polaroid, then stick in a sheet of 'regular' film and get your negative/transparency image.

.. I thought it would be an article about sniping eBay bids at the last second from my iPod.

Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol supports a number of dead reckoning algorithms, from simple first order position to rate of turn and acceleration. An IEEE standard since '97, I believe. See here.
