Default Film vs. digital cameras

I don't think digital is up to the range of 35mm film yet. However, I
much prefer digital over negative film for color work. I could never
quite get color to come out right from film, but digital seems to do it
with no problem. OTOH, B&W still seems to be better on film (although
digital is catching up fast) and 4x5 color slides are quite remarkable.
Digital would have a very long way to go to come close to 4x5 color
slides.


I think it IS up to medium or high speed color neg film, but not up to
slow transparency or slow B & W film yet. A good 8 to 10 Mp camera
has about the same resolution as the color films, and most all have
good dynamic range.
