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.

Not all cameras are equal even though they may all have the same size CCD.
A $700 camera will not have the same image processing as say a $3000 camera.
The actual image processing (software/firmware) accounts for 50% of the
image quality. So, the more expensive camera will yield better results
the vast majority of the time due to its better processing capabilities.
