Digital is nowhere near film in the large format
arena. I'm getting close to 200 megapixels scanning
4X5 film. Once they come up with affordable sensors approaching
this number, maybe THEN film will be dead.

At least high-speed. In latest issue of French "Chasseur d'images" there was
comparison of high speed film (Superia 400 and 1600) with two DSLRs (Nikon
D100 and Canon 300D). And while at iso400 DSLRs performed better - almost no
grain (noise) was visible, then at iso1600 Superia was much better, having
significantly smaller grain than noise in both cameras.
As we can see, no technology is perfect and so film has still some serious
advantages over digital :-)
