You're absolutely right, and really hammer home the point I was making. For any particular field that 35mm used to dominate, digital has become its equal or surpassed it.
Sports? Digital sensors handle high ISO with less grain than an equivalent high speed film. Wildlife? Ditto. Family get-togethers? Between the tiny camera sizes, huge storage capacity, and the ability to chimp, digital beats 35mm hands down. Vacation pics? Ditto. Portraiture? The ability digitally enhance pictures without scanning makes digital the clear winner over 35mm. etc. etc.
The romance of film is what seems to keep a lot of people enthralled with it. It's the idea of getting your hands dirty with something real and tangible, as opposed to something as ephemeral and soulless as electrical signals and pure data. It's a nice thought, and surely some will keep it alive for Art's sake, but digital will reign supreme in the professional market as well as in the consumer market. 35mm film simply doesn't make any more sense as any other than a fun alternative to "normal digital photography".
Linking to Ken Rockwell to prove a point about photography is like arguing for Intelligent Design. We know you don't have a clue what you're talking about it and bringing in fake "experts" is not helping your case.
Yes, 35mm has less resolution. Period. End of story. To argue otherwise shows not only that you are ignorant of current technologies, but also that you aren't interested in actually comparing apples to apples. As such, it's worthless to debate this with you.
But linking to Ken Rockwell? I laughed out loud when I saw that. YOU should be the one called LameJokeGuy.
If you're thinking of getting a new manual camera, get the FM3a instead. Better camera all around.
Sure, it uses batteries, but since the shutter is mechanical, it only loses metering once the batteries die. Everything else will continue working just fine.
If you were really serious about photography, you wouldn't be using 35mm in the first place. It's meant for beginners who don't need serious resolution and fine detail which is only available in larger formats. For those beginners, digital surpasses 35mm in every way (resolution, color rendition (infinitely malleable), convenience, and you can bring hundreds of pictures for printing to the photo stand on a single card).
So are we going to mourn the loss of this dead technology forever? Give me a break.
If you consider the punishment to be a censure rather than some sort of childish spanking, then it makes sense, in that context. In any line of work you are subject to rules and regulations and one of those is that you are not to belittle another member of the profession in public (more or less, I suppose).
He's getting censured for doing something that ought to be out of character of a student in a professional studies course. That's not uncommon. In fact, it's the same as would happen out in the job Marquette.
Relying on Microsoft to build the foundation for all home digital entertainment is like relying on Ford to build the foundation for quality automobiles. (Psst. Hey geniuses. The Japanese already beat you to it.)

How can they be identical if they are based on different motherboards?

You could build yourself a pretty nifty transistor radio with that many!
