use it exclusively and they are semi-/professionals and do good work. It
can be fun working with film but to get excellent results takes a lot of
care and work. I have also read that 35mm is around ~10MP if tripod
mounted and sufficiently fine grained, and that hand holding it drops to
around 6ish. This seems to echo my own experience with film vs digital.
This estimate is mine, based on inspecting a few thousand high quality
drum scans, generally of decent transparency stock and studio shots.
This would put medium format (say 6x7cm) at around 48 MP. The lenses are
up to that.

My first dSLR was a 6MP camera (a Pentax *ist DS) and in Raw shooting
side by side comparisons with Fuji Provia 100f they seemed pretty close
to me (with a slight edge to the film).
35mm film
~ 10MP in my experience.
I reckoned that Kodachrome was a bit more, but you can't get that now :-(
