Have you seen the output from 6 or 8 megapixel cameras?  A 35 mm
camera doesn't easily beat that, if at all.

Also, once you figure in the postprocessing  all the way to press,
film isn't necessarily easier or cheaper anymore.  Sure you get a nice
negative.  Now you have to scan it, on a drum scanner if you want to
keep all those pixels.  ...
