One thing we must readily admit--the EOS 1Ds surpasses 35mm film. So I think we must at least admit that "digital has surpassed film."After all, it might be argued that yet another way to make the comparison more fair would be to compare film vs. the _same-sized_ digital sensor. So we would compare the EOS 1Ds to 35mm, and against the Pentax 6x7 we would have to pit a digital medium-format camera back. --Mike
