This seems remarkable to me. It suggests that from film to digital, in this regard, it's not apples and apples. Someone just said "Da."

I think it's something like this -- if you think of film as in pixels, it only has it's finite best. So this fixed pixel best, was put in combination with a fixed sensitivity (ISO), to create it's best fixed quality. Sombody stop me.

Digitalia, on the other hand, at it's high end settings surpasses the fixed pixel best of film, and maybe by a long shot. If this is true, then you have to re-shuffle your matrix of the limitations of high end ISO settings.

Or, and what is more likely, I am completely full of crap and yet, still walk around without a keeper.
