Film Camera Vs. Digital Camera
Ales Litomisky did an interesting test comparing Film 35 mm: Nikkormat FT3 , Film 6×6 cm: Hasselblad 503CW, Canon EOS 5D, full size sensor 24×36mm, 12.8 MegaPixels, and Nikon D200, APS-C sensor, 10.2 MegaPixels.
Interesting results from the test:
“The best quality both in print and on the screen viewed at 100% are clearly from the Canon 5D, followed by the Nikon D200, then the Hasselblad, and lastly - after a significant gap – by the 35 mm film camera.
I expected that the prints from the digital cameras would be better than those from the 35mm film; the superior quality of the Canon 5D prints as compared to the Hasselblad, however, was a surprise to me. The significant difference between the Hasselblad and the 35mm film surprised me as well.”

all these are compare apple to oranges, and using 12.8milllion pixel to compare to 35mm
Hasselblad is medium format which is soemthing like D5 level.
35 mm film is like a stamp size and 6 X 6 is 6cm leh like palm size liao
sure pic quality different after enlargemnt.
Digital using pixel to determine the quality of pictures, but the film is using lens to capture the picture and the chemical reaction of film towards sunlight and also processing with chemicals
otally different thing
Canon although is sharp, but the colour and tone already being distorted.
Nikon FT# clour is more vivid as VILVA is a slide fujifilm which famous for bright colours, and Nikon famous for the colour balnce.
Hasselblad colour are more soft and natural which is the characteristic of German maker.
it’s not about the film or camera… it’s all abput the lenses! both work good and are for completely different uses! film for passion… digital for work!
