Tom, Yes- you can use lenses/etc, or "monkey around," to get 2/3 chip have similar angle of view and DOF as a larger format, given wide enough lenses etc. Obviously, the whole issue is resolution, it will look like shit and never really be vista vision. I get that. The other problem is with 2/3 cameras theres really a limited supply of lenses, so adapting workable lenses is an issue of itself, which creates more softness and BS.

With S35 cameras we have enough spectrum of lenses that its not the same issue. So the 2/3 analogy can only go so far.

Can you just give me one SPECIFIC example (other than FOV/DOF or resolution) about why a larger format is so unique?
