The more pixels the better? - Page 2

Actually film resolution is limited by the size of the particles on the film.

So, film resolution is still limited in some way, but not in a uniform or fixed way that an optical sensor is.

Yup, exactly.

Digital has its usage. Try bursting 1000+ shots in an hour with film cameras...

Machineguns

Especially on the 1DsMkII

Nah...1Ds can only do 4fps. Try the normal 1D MkII.

Getting EOS1D camera allows you to do both.

How bout a 72Mb file?

Although, it's stitched from 169 images, but still.... mad

0.7GP?

I don't think such technology will appear, probably not in our lifetime, when Canon are probably giving up making higher MP sensors.

I still think the 144 Mpixel camera is hotter, with each image using at least 140MB file size.

Seriously, if we are trying to squeeze so many pixels into a 35mm film, we are back to square 1, the purpose of this article!

I think it's time for them to stop making higher MP sensors and concentrate on clean output, especially at higher sensitivity.
