 > Another paper I read was a study of the lp/mm it is possible to
capture on
35mm film. The author found that lenses, use of consumer film, non-use
of
tripods/shutter releases/mirror lock-up, use of autofocus, filters
placed on
the lens, etc limits most photographers to a quality of around 50 lp/mm.
That equates to 100dpi on a sensor 36mm x 24mm, or a 3600x2400 pixel
image
(just over 8Mp).  <
 
Maybe, but the same 'lowering issues' apply to digital photography, so a
real 6 Mp  in a digital camera would result in (due to use of lenses,
non-use of tripods etc.)to, say, 2.2 Mp. What matters is what you get in
films vs. CCD, **all the other things being equal**.
