Just my two cents, but I can scan my 35mm slides (at 2700dpi) and still get
away with some cropping without revealing the pixel structure, which I can't
do with my G-1 (3.3MP). I try to be very careful in my framing of my
initial shots with either format, but I have more latitude for errors with
film. I imagine the D60 would nearly double my flexibility over the G-1,
but then, a 4000dpi scanner would increase my flexibility by one third with
film. FWIW, even at 2700dpi, I can see the limitations of the scan where
there is more information in the film than the scanner could extract. As
scanners get better, I will always have my slides to take advantage of the
increases in resolution, but this is not so with and original digital image.
