    You are an idiot.

    There is no digital 35mm camera that can match the level of detail that Fujichrome Velvia 50 can capture. Period. There is no 35mm CCD or CMOS that can store as much information as Velvia can capture.

    11MP only puts 35mm cameras to shame when they're using crappy film.
