I have had to shoot commercial jobs at both the above examples, I have never pushed digital that far (yet) so don't know the answer.
My point is not to bash digital capture, but:
You can always push a system beyond its abilities, film or digital, when digital breaks down you get noise, when film breaks down you get big blobs of grain producing a high contrast image. I think grain is prettier than noise (showing my age possibly).
