At that level of photography, it is the lens that limits the quality. And the lens

Perhaps the fact that many shots on the digital camera often disappear silently, never
being printed, is an improvement.

I've come to the conclusion, based on digital
TV, digital photography,
digital radio, etc, that when 'digital' is applied to a consumer product,
the result is a reduction in quality.
One point I'd take issue with is about digital photography. Go and
compare photos taken with an el-cheapo point-and-shoot digital camera
and an equivalent 35mm compact. *Then* tell me there's not *some*
improvement ;-)
