Digital Camera Quality Passing Film?

smartbit writes "Luminous Landscape writes in their Preliminary Field Report of the Canon 1Ds 11 Megapixel camera: 'the 1Ds produces the best combination of resolution, colour accuracy and low noise that I've yet seen in a digital camera. What about a comparison with both 35mm film and medium format? I'm afraid that film has definitively lost the battle. The 1Ds's full-frame 11MP CMOS sensor produces a 32MB file -- as big as a typical scan. But this file is sharper and more noise free than any scan I have ever seen, including drum scans. There simply isn't a contest any longer.' Kodak's Pro 14n list price is $5000 lower and uses a similar CMOS sensor supplied by Fillfactory "

Crime scene photographers do not have the option to use digital. Film is the only way to maintain the necessary chain of evidence.
