Large format film (4x5 and 8x10) has the same grain structure as 35mm... It's the
degree of enlargment that determines the sharpness of the picture.I still get a kick out
of people that are impressed by manufacturer specs. It must be better if it has more
MP's. Not neccessarily true. As long as you understand the technology, know it's
limitations and work within them, a 2.74MP full frame sensor with good glass will put to
shame any new camera that you don't have to mortgage your house to buy.
Computers are the same way, which is probably why some people ( you know who you are 8-) )
still hang on to and use 'old' technology.

35mm film ~ 10MP in my experience.
I reckoned that Kodachrome was a bit more, but you can't get that now :-(
Larger format film doesn't have quite the rsolution you would expect, the
larger films are not held flat enough in the image plane But medium
format and large format are still higher resolution that any digital
caemra you are likely to own. Not tht resolution is the only thing that
matters, of course
