David,

What makes you think it would have been better on film?  Admitidly I
have not shot any 1600 speed film in a while, but the last time I did
use it it left a lot to be desired as far as resolution and the like
go...was very grainy also.  A lot worse than my 1DII is at 1600.

Good Mornin' Harrison!

You are, of course, right. I think my problem is that digital is so good at high ISO's, compared to film, I rather expect more fine detail, as I would get with ISO 100 film. When the large grain is present, one rather expects the detail to be lost. I suppose more megapixels might yield that detail, but that's for another day, and another wallet!
