Bottom line: is a D80 sharper than 35 mm film??

Are the pics the same as a film or better than film (if you use the digital lenses)?

Well that's a religious question, I'm afraid. There's a great treatise on digital vs. film here.

The bottom line is, that there are many factors when it comes to film. Film speed (ISO), being one of them. Aperture settings. Lighting conditions.

I honestly don't think any digital development will be better than film. But the technology has developed to the point where the arguement is really moot. Digital allows you to do much more and it's alot easier more affordable than developing and printing film - having to pay for bad pictures, etc.

In the end, film is an end use technology now. The future is digital. But beware, according to recent surveys, only 20% of digital camera users actually PRINT their pictures!
