that comparison between the D30 and film has been past around for as long as the D30 has been around. The only problem is it's completely BS. There is no possible way that a 3 megapixel camera can equal anywhere near what film can. I own the Rebel 300G and the image its 6.3mp sensor produces can't compete with consumer grade grocery store film. Using a Minolta 5400dpi film scanner to scan my negatives produces a 100mb file at about 7,000x4500px, with Kodak Gold 100ISO film, from a grocery store. It's a little bit fuzzy and grainy, but it's acceptable. printed at 18x24 it's beautiful. If you do the math, 7000x4500 is about 30 megapixels. (http://www.netg.se/~hugge/java... The 6.3mp rebel produces a 3,072 x 2,048px image. i do large print editions of my photography. i believed all the talk about how a 6.3 is just as good, if not better than film, in terms of resolution and quality. i'm dissappointed and now i need to upgrade to at least a 10 megapixel to get decent quality prints like what i was getting with film. again, a 3 megapixel being better than film? i can't believe people would believe that.
