I agree with David, but must add that this information applies to all film to digital comparisons regarding image content and image stability.
Which makes me wonder if this statement (in answer to the first question):Probably of some relevance to still photography is that 35mm used in a motion picture context is closer to half frame 35mm still photography (depending upon aspect ratio). [/URL]
...is in reference to scanning a full frame 24x36 or a half frame?
That's what I thought. That means... that there is the potential for making a 200mb scan from a 35mm neg!That would be the cine 35mm frame, which is about half the still 35mm frame.

Wow!!!
And if you look up the patents on the Chromira printer, you will find that our own Jim Browning is one of the inventors.

There are enormous differences of opinion about what consitutes a megapixel equivalent to film. I have spoken to a wide range of people including well-informed people at Ilford and Zeiss, and a great deal depends on your interpretation of 'useful information' and the extent to which you believe that redundancies and randomization in the recording medium contribute to the look of film. This is the very highest figure I have ever seen for an equivalent, and while I would not dream of arguing with such a source, I would point out that it is worth bearing the above in mind.
You are right Roger. Every comparision I have read between film and digital is fundamentally flawed, both in its setup and execution. It seems as if they are all saying "Which makes a better apple? A Red Delicious or a Banana? To determine which, they will take the banana, peel it, roll it into a ball, and paint it red. Then come to the conclusion the Red Delicious is better." That is exactly what all the DvA comparisons amount to. Both are different.
And, it requires a high resolution scan to achieve any degree of quality as noted above. The data is there!
