High Pixel count P&Ss

A P&S for recording artwork? How about a Leica Z2X?  Here are a couple of samples, the original paintings were shot on film and later the PRINTS were snapped digitally for my own archive -these are not film scans.

In ye olden days all my stuff for repro was shot on 4x5 and I only went digital after retiring through ill-health. I really can't explain it but I have great problems with direct digital photos from  paintings, perhaps because digi-snaps are too relentlessly detailed in picking up paper/canvas/paint textures, and I can't be bothered to spend more time pp'ing than I did doing the painting!  Perhaps your brother can also ignore the p&S-pixel-passion.  Yours lightheartedly,
