From people who have done scanning (very high quality ones) and now do
direct digital capture, they say that a 18meg direct digital file is
equal in quality to a 50 meg (8 bit) scan. Digital capture does not
directly compare to scan resolutions. Film introduces all sorts of crap
that imaging devices do not. After almost 4 years with a 2400 dpi film
scanner and recently getting a 4000 dpi one I can understand this 18 =
50 comment. resolution isn't everything.
You have to stop looking at numbers and start looking at pictures.

Today the scanners seem to be reaching a "sound wall" - of 5000 ppi. I have
figured that 35mm analoge photography can reach what is equivalent to appr.
7500 ppi (100 lppm). When digital cameras reach - let's say 6000ppi and fps
of 8 shots per second at a competing price level(!) - the 35mm photography
film will die. At least for the pro-market.
