Yes.

No.
Digital is not a format. Digital is a technology allowing a lot of different
formats, just like film.
I think we already have more digital formats available than film, don't you
think?
You can replace any film with the proper digital format. For that reason,
most pros sell their film equipment and buy digital stuff capable to do the
same job.
IMO, 6MP APS roughly equals 35mm film (better in some respects, worse in
others), 16MP FF roughly equals MF film (better in some respects, worse in
others). And I think I've been fair.
