With digital, if I'm on holiday and run out of
storage space, I can buy
a CF card fitting 300 8MP images for about the price of film and
development for 60 images.
The effective resolution of 35mm film is IIRC considered by
professionals to be in the 27MP range; DSLRs are rapidly approaching
this.
Except digital camera pixel specs are deliberately misleading. 27 MP probably
means 27 million monochrome pixels with a color filter stuck on top of the
imager.
No one would accept LCD monitors sold this way...
(You will notice this is you try to image high spacial frequency images with
different colors - works fine in black and white, crumbles to a mess of
aliasing in color)
