I heard someone say that 8Mp digital cameras were the equivalent to 35mm
film quality?

Does this mean they have the theoretical equivalent resolution? Are
they
the equivalent to 35mm?


what 35mm are you referring to?
A Leica with optimum aperture set, on a tripod, loaded with the best
slide film available? Or a compact with iso 400 negative film in it?

My own film/digital comparisons hit an early snag when I couldn't find the
CF slot on my FM3a.

I've looked at film under a microscope and a variety of loupes, and never
saw a single pixel...

What am I doing wrong?


Trying to be funny when it obviously isn't your forté if that post is
anything to go by.
