Why is film better than digital camera?

Film is an image produced by chemical changes condensing silver salt particles, while digital is a photosensitive chip. There are about 654.38 billion silver salt particles on the film, and now the top digital camera has about 30 million pixels. Therefore, in terms of resolution, film is still better.

Second, the latitude of the film is relatively large, about 7 levels. Latitude is the degree to which a photo can accommodate natural light from the darkest to the brightest. What is the concept of level 7? That is, the film can withstand exposure below level 3 or overexposure above level 4, and the digital camera can accept about level 5.

The traditional film processing is enlargement, and the fast printing you are talking about is scanning printing, that is, converting the film into digital printing output, and the image quality will be seriously damaged in this process.
