Popular Photography claims that Canon’s 16 megapixel 1Ds Mark II digital SLR camera produces better image quality than ISO 100 film.

“I’d say it’s settled. ISO 100 color negative film may capture a bit more detail than the 1Ds Mark II under ideal lighting conditions, with a great lens, and on a supersteady tripod. But for its better color and lower noise, the “Color Image Quality” award goes to Canon’s $8,000 digital SLR. Seeing is believing…or is it vice-versa?”
