I'm speaking here about professionals who make a living writing about
photography. I read another article where the author had to start a
"Down Memory Lane" jag about film.
They should no longer be wasting space including any comments on film
cameras. Film is DEAD. It has been dead since Canon released the
30D. The nails in its coffin where pounded in when 8 megapixel DSLRs
appeared. Some darkroom alchemist may be able to wring 8 megapixels
of info out of 35mm film, but that is the absolute limit, lack of
resolution being only one shortcoming of film.



Depends a bit on the ASA. I thought [I read] that a decent 35mm film would
provide 4kx3k pixels i.e. about 12Mp.

Film today is being
rapidly abandoned by professionals and amateurs should do the same
unless they are after some look film provides that digital can't, and
today that covers very little ground. But if you are going to write
some kind of comparison article, stick to digital versus digital,
because comparing digital versus film is a useless exercise.


Film is rapidly being abandoned. Just try and buy some...

I have some Pan-F that has more resolution than my 4000ppi Nikon scanner
can extract. That works out at around 21Mp - a slow monochrome emulsion
though.
