[Digital BW] Re: Shooting digital vs. film

No, the Fuji S2 produces 12 megapixel files (4256 x 2848 @ 16-bit.)
These are similar in file size to 35mm film scans from my Canon 2710
(2700 dpi scanner) and have much, much less grain/noise than my film
scans. 4000dpi scans from high-quality 35mm originals would probably
be better. 

It has a 6.1 megapixel superCCD, which interpolates in-camera RAW
files to 12 megapixel output. In my opinion these interpolated files
are significantly better than upsampling in photoshop, but that's a
point of much debate. 

Check the resolution charts on dpreview.com, the S2 is the current
resolution king amongst "affordable" DSLRs - digital backs for MF of
course blow it out of the water. (Compared to D100 and D60 however, it
has far far greater resolution, though both of these are also
excellent cameras.)
