Either you have a fantastic lab or you don't scan enough and use digital
yet. I scan all my negs and the huge difference is that my Coolpix digital
images don't have all the dust cleanup and scratch problems my film
negatives have. Much like CD's and vinyl records. Right now I think
sensitivity (speed) is where film is vastly superior to digital. Most
consumer digital cameras are really equivalent to 100 iso. You can turn the
gain up, but it gets ugly quickly.
