How many megapixels does a digital camera need to produce an 8" by

(or for that matter a larger format) shooting a top of the run film, such
as a major brand 100-125 ASA color (or black and white) film.
The bottom line, if I replace a film camera with a digital, and want the
same quality enlargements, am I talking about the current models now
available (costing perhaps $500 to a bit over $1000), typically with
roughly 10 MP, or am I talking about something not designed for other than
professional use such as the $8000 Canon with 21 mp, or perhpas something
yet to be invented.
Oh good, a digital vs film thread, I was getting really tired of
nothing but Bret vs D-Mac threads.
If an 8x10 in print is as large as you are printing then there is a
wide range of digital cameras that will give you that.
There are lots of samples from digital cameras at review sites, you
can print one of these and see what you think.
For me once I got an 8MP digital I gave up on film, I could get a bit
more detail from film, but only if the detail was very high contrast,
prints taken with a 8MP DSLR look sharper to my eye then of the same
scene taken with a film SLR.
