Have you seen the output from 6 or 8 megapixel cameras? A 35 mm
camera doesn't easily beat that, if at all.
Also, once you figure in the postprocessing all the way to press,
film isn't necessarily easier or cheaper anymore. Sure you get a nice
negative. Now you have to scan it, on a drum scanner if you want to
keep all those pixels. ...
