Default Digital camera versus Digital Film Scanner

The digital afficionado will claim the superiority of the orginal digital
image.

Digital is more convenient. Current higher end digital cameras deliver high
quality images under the appropriate cirmumstances.

The reality is that scanned 35mm film, particularly negative film, shows
greater latitude and contains exponentially more picture information than
most digital originals. I have been working with both. I am starting to
habitually reach for the digital camera, because it is easier and faster to
get the digital image into Photoshop that way.

But when I take the time to scan a 35mm negative it is obvious how far
digital sesnors have to go.
