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

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?
