What respects are those? Are you saying, that given equal

equal recording instrument compared to film?
More pics at essentially zero cost.
I can agree with this for the most part.
A good digital camera will have better resolution than 35mm film.
Depends upon what "good" means.
Film has grain, digital doesn't.
Digital does have noise, which in many ways is the digital version
of grain.
A reasonably-priced digital camera can have optical image
stabilization.
I have never seen this on a camera that uses film.
Various film cameras employ image stabilization, albeit in the
lens not in the camera body. Some "reasonably" priced film cameras
can take advantage of image stabilization, but the cost for that is
in the price of the IS lens.
