Re: Future Practicality of Film

[graywolf]

Smile, compares crops of 2nd generation digitalized slides to corps of 1st 
generation digital. Kodak said 14mp was comparable to 35mm color negatives back 
when 2mp was the best anyone (them) had done so far. I have seen nothing that 
contradicts that yet. That would mean you would need about twice that 14mp to 
match the best slide film. And 10x to match Techpan.

I wonder sometimes if any of these folks who say digital is so good have ever 
even seen an original 8x10 tranny on the light table.

*Shakes head*  This is the hootenany I was speaking of.  You know a couple
years ago people were claiming 30-40 Mega pixels to outdo 35mm film, that
number keeps dropping, but people still claim you need such and such
ludicrous amount of pixels to out do the resolution of film.  well, I have
been a witness to a test on the net, that compares, side to side, crops of
Fuji provia 35mm film and a 6MP DSLR, and the two are almost exactly the
same with the digital getting slightly better color response IMO.

There is the link to it.
Besides if you think 8mp is some kind of insurance for film, its not,
digital is just going to keep getting bigger and better.
