If you can't tell Tri-X or HP5 from digi when looking at a web image, or Neopan 1600 from digital, or Fuji Press 400 or 800 from digi, then I'd suggest getting your eyes checked. It's really a pisser how so many digital photogs, including many on this list, complain about the obvious grain that shows in film-based images, even on the web, and now we have you saying that the difference can't be discerned. Gimme a break!
Further, I did not say ANY low rez web image. I said "In many cases it's quite obvious." That's a far cry from ANY ... if you're gonna use my words to make a point, use them accurately and don't manipulate them. I'll put some of my film scans next to some of Rob's digital output, and the difference in the look between the two is substantial and obvious as to which is digi and which is film. When using scanned film images that have been run through Noise Ninja or Neat Image, it may be more difficult to tell the difference, but it's not too hard when making straight scans without heavy manipulation.
