Unless the OP is shooting MF, a 6MP DSLR is going to produce equal or
better
images then most commonly available (consumer) 35mm films. Where this is
not the case is very fine grained slow silver B&W print films and the
better, i.e. more expensive, slide films. At 10-12 MP It's pretty much a
dead heat.
