Have You Gone Digital Yet?

An interesting comment, quoted from a web site:
"The question "have you gone digital yet?" is a presumptuous fallacy is
pushed by camera stores and camera makers, since they make big bucks when
you buy a digital camera that you'll want to replace in a few years.
"Going digital" is by no means inevitable or even desirable.
Digital does not replace your film camera for many kinds of fine art. Even
today your dad's 20 year old Canon AE-1 can make technically better images
than any digital camera. The Canon AE-1 is about the same as a 20 megapixel
camera. The AE-1 Program is about the same as a 25 megapixel camera,
presuming you are using Canon brand lenses."

Does the article explain why a film camera body with "Program" improves
the resolution by 20%?
I suggest you get your decisive info from higher quality sources.

And you will note that I did post it in film-oriented newsgroup.

There are loads of websites and millions of images that lay waste
to such claims. This is naught but a troll.

Simmer down, Jeremy. Since about 90% of digital cameras are point and
shoots, in the hands of simple snapshotters, that's where the sales
massage is aimed - not at true amateurs or knowledgeable users. It's
just a sales pitch, nothing to do whatsoever with the relative merits of
film vs. digital
But, your film-oriented bias is apparent for all to see, so you will get
plenty of dissenters for your post.

Re: Have You Gone Digital Yet?

I haven't a clue where the megapixel equivalents are coming from. Just about
all 35mm SLR cameras should all be equivalent to the same megapixel count,
whatever that would be. What would change equivalent megapixel values would
be the film and the resolution of the lens [and use of a tripod].
In short, it is completely bogus to say the Canon AE-1 is equivalent to a 20MP
camera and that, in the same paragraph, say tha the Canon AE-1 Program is
somehow better and equivalent to a 25MP camera.

A 35mm film camera does not even come close to a 20 MP digital camera,
it has a hard time matching a 8 MP camera.
I know you scan your film, show me your 20MP image that you believe is
the same as a 20MP digital. For reference here is a 21 MP digital
camera image.

This is the same image size you would get from scanning 35mm film at
4000 ppi.
A lot of people believe that just because they can get X number of
pixels from a scan that the scanned image is the same as having a
digital camera of the same number of pixels, this is just not true.
