How do Film and Digital Compare?
If you want a scientific answer, there are those far better able than I to answer that question. For me the comparisons are purely subjective. As a visual artist, I have seen the results coming from digital capture and printing go from very poor, to good, to very good, to equal to film, and now, in my opinion, better than film! I have made digital prints up to 40×60 from digital capture at 6.1 megapixels, that have no grain, and with a sharpness that make medium format film prints at 30×40 look soft! And now I’m using a 10.2 MP capture…. Also, the top quality digital prints now have a colorfast rating of up to 200+ years!
