Ryan, Aside from the inability on the web to really show things well (how were the files doctored for display at various sizes, etc), one huge factor for film is the ability to pick various types of films - wide latitude, narrow latitude, chromes, negs, various saturations, corrections for skin tones vs. landscapes etc. Not much option on digital. One thing to remember is if the detail isn't captured (blown out or blocked up) you can't Photoshop it in. What I have seen of digital so far appears to be fairly narrow latitude with highlights being blown out very easily.
That being said, I was feeling that even the 6mp cameras are plenty adequate up to 8X10 prints already. To me the significance of the new Canon is the full frame sensor. Wide angle isn't lost.
