O'Connell Emne: Re: USAF target and resolution tests I think that most of us who shoot DSLR's now would agree with your statement. One thing that seems to muddy the waters is that the opportunity to get really good processing may not be readily available to some. On top of that, there are many subjects that don't demand high resolution. In those cases, the digital image can look as good or better due to the lack of grain. For many practical purposes, digital resolution (6mp aps sensor)is good enough. For those cases where it isn't, shoot film.
