That is not true with film cameras.
Oh yes it is! About 4yrs ago I bought a pair of EOS1n's. One was s/h and
cost 875GBP, the other was new and cost ~1100GBP. Both are now worth
~500GBP s/h. Depreciation of ~12% pa. The same goes for my Rollei 6000 MF
kit, £3k evaporated

I have done the math many times...as I've been dealing with
digital imaging
for a lot longer than most. I can get far more for my film cameras as far
as return, than I can for my digital ones, it's just plain fact. And, the
film cameras go down to a point, and stop
formats.

That is going to be scanner dependant. On my scanner, that does not appear

I do, however stand behind the part about the Pentax having to resolve less
than 30 lp/mm to get
outresolved by the Canon (and um, it should be 30 not 29 as in the original
post--I should have
divided 2700 by 24, not 25.2, but it's not really significant). Something's
I'm kidding... I am also surprised by the results. The drum scan does
show a lot more resolution than his Imacon scan. And the close up shows
that there is no detail on the windows from the digital while the film
has a good amount.
I don't think he's denying that. His (Michael R.'s) point
