I will not belabor you on this Mike but will point out there ~are~ other differences between a print and digital images re: input. 1) Nearly 100% of the people with (any quality of) digital cameras, even $99 jobbers, can make a print (on some kind of printer or other). IT is ~THEY~ who must be satisfied, not film camera owners. 2) Not ~one~ non-SLR digital device lacking the lens selection SLR owners use, can input the values of 35mm SLR cameras w/good lenses and carefully chosen film. 3) My ~personal~ experiences with film vis-a-vis digital shows that 35mm film still puts more (evidentiary) detail in an image than most digitals. Digitals, (excluding SLR-interchangeable lens) types, simply don't have the lenses to resolve detail as does my f/1.4 50mm (or f/3.5 135mm). At that point, 35mm film (whether taken with an SLR or not) still kicks digital butt for inputting data. (to be continued.)
