So basically your point is that you can achieve better results with a
film-based 35mm camera then with a prosumer, i.e. D30/D60/1D/D1x/..
digital camera. It takes more time and effort to achieve that better
result but it is better.

No. I did not say that Robert. My point was based on a question stating,
"So at what megapixel will it take to equal or surpass a 35mm 100 ASA
film speed grain?"
My reply was a 6MP camera like the EOS D60 or Kodak DCS760.
What I am saying here is that if you were to take a negative and print
it direct from film (NO SCANNING to Digital files) onto photo paper
and compare it with a print made directly from a digital file
of either of these cameras, the latter will produce a sharper print
when enlarged beyond 20x24. In my example I stated 30x40.
I also said I have proof. Here I can produce a tack sharp 11x14 made
from 1/2 the area of the original image from a Fujifilm Finepix S1.
If I were to take a 1/2 the image found on a color negative
(which BTW would be larger than 1/2 the size of the image sensor)
you would not get as clear a result!
People then started talking about scanning a negative which IMO is then
creating a digital file and would not the same comparison as posed by
the original question.
