False. You can process the film scans the same way you process digital captured images to get the same edge sharpness as the digital AND detail from fine grain 35mm film scans.
And regarding the edge sharpness, it looks bad on a large print when the edges are overemphisized. Very "fake" looking compared to a true high resolution image without the phony edges. Overdone edge sharpness and lack of details only looks good on small images, blow them up and they look terrible compared to a true high resolution image without the phony overdone edges...(sorry for repeating myself but I aint deleting!)

Lower noise/ grain > yes, sharper or as sharp as fine grain FF film, no. You've mistaken sharpness with resolution... Photos from DSLRs have far better edge sharpness than the ones from 35mm and thanks to this they just look sharper on prints despite they are not able to show as many fine detail as good low-grain film... -- Best Regards Sylwek
