There have been quite a few less biased analysis than the crusade
luminous-landscape has been on for about 2 years. One of the better ones I
have linked at my work machine (photog doesn't YET pay all the bills :-( )
and I'll repost it later this PM. Essentially what the person did was to
shoot a highly detailed landscape on film vs digital camera, and zoom in on
particularly high details of each image and look at the results. His
conclusions are that 16mpixels in a 35mm format are equivilant to the best
grain resolution - something the 1Ds approaches but doesn't reach.
Some other ways of making comparisons:
1) take the film image, enlarge it via standard 'wet chem' methods using
the best equip you can find. - scan the result at the highest resolution
you can
2) compare the 1Ds output, similarly enlarged, to the result.
Film still wins - just don't tell Luminous Landscape.

I am not a professional and have not done any tests, but heard & read about
this.
There has been a great deal of discussion going on about same article in
Pentax Discussion Mailing List.
I agree with the some of PDML members that this is comparison of Scanner v/s
Digital Camera.
I am curious to know about other ways of comparing the DSLRs and Film/slide.
I think you can compare them both
theorically and practically (means comparing the output. Example: Print).
In "practical" way of comparing, out put from DSLR and Film/Slide are
converted to some other form(Print) and then
compared. This is not a direct comparison of DSLR v/s Film/Slide. Other than
using print as for comparison,
I do not know any other (experimental)way of comparing it.
Thanks
Ramesh
