The main difference is pixel size- with film it's almost at the molecular level. Digital will probably get there but it's still a long way off.

The test of resolution is how far you can blow up a photo and still see useful new detail.

Check out this view of downtown Boston, shot from atop the Prudential tower. Over on the left side, you can see the band shell on the Charles River Esplanade. See if you can see which FM station was sponsoring the concert.

Reminds me of some old glass negatives I heard about (probably 8x10) of a city this way. I heard they were zooming in enlarging just portions and seeing identifiable people. I can see people in this zoom (the park near the band shell).

Pretty amazing.

Do you have more details on this shoot?

Wow, that appears to have been shot through a window, and it’s clear as a bell. 103.3 would be the answer to your question.
