The notion of "image quality" does not concern me too much because I 
frequently soften images on purpose for effect, or softening happens as 
part of the process (e.g., enlarging slides onto sheet film to make 
image size negatives), but I have read the ongoing film vs digital 
debate. Below are two sites that appear to have reasonable information. 
Both conclude that film produces better (if by "better" one means finer 
grain and resolution) image quality than digital. I'm I missing 
something? Is there something these guys are missing?
