If you shoot large format that can be true. For medium format or what used to be called "miniature format" when I started photography this is not true. The only film parameter which has the potential be better than digital is -perhaps- resolution, but only very slow black and white films in ideal exposure conditions.
In all other respects digital is superior - in my experience.My Rolleiflex 6008i is not capable of producing colour pictures to match those from several of my digital cameras. 35mm has been behind for years. I am not aware of -anybody- with in depth experience of both who would agree with you. Perhaps I am going to get the first convincing information as a result of this email!
best regards, FrankI am comparing Velvia, Provia, Kodachrome in Canon, Leica, Rollei and Mamiya film cameras (up to 6x7cm) with digital from Leica M8, Canon EOS 1Ds mk2 and Nikon D3. Most recently I have been trying a Nikon D3x but have not formed any conclusions yet since I have not shot with it enough.
