Digital BW, The Print

What sort of subject matter does the digital realm really shine at? I
know it doesn't do great on super fine tree branches, but most cameras
and lenses don't. I've very rarely seen any lens or film combination or
camera that could resolve the finely detailed tips of a bare tree's
branches in the winter. (no leaves, just branches). An 8x10 Contact
print can do it, but an enlargemnent? Not many!
