Not necessarily, in fact I think due to its linearity there is more data 
recorded in the highlight areas in digital captures. Shadow areas may suffer 
however, as they are expanded in relation to the gamma curve to which the 
linear data is mapped. I think the advantage in film still lies with its 
greater exposure latitude (in the case of negative films only)
