If resolution is your thing with images, here are some numbers. The old 35mm standard film for cameras would need a digital camera resolution of about 175 MP to capture the same amount of detail. Go to 4x5 inch pro film sizes and your digital camera would need to have a MP count of over 1000. Glass plate negatives have even higher resolutions, so would send the MP count into the thousands. With film you also get complete R, G and B (colour) resolution at every point.
