If the OP thinks a Canon T1i is better than a 4x5 he is doing something completely wrong with the 4x5 or smoking something wacky....
Gotta love the internet!
Any bozo can make a claim that results in a bunch of arguments.
I don't think there is a method yet of extracting all of the information from film. When a comparison is made between a digital file and an electron microscope image of a negative and the digital file is better, I will believe it. The post above with the regular microscope image tends to support my contention. The limitation is not with the film but by the means of reproduction.
Until then, people believe what they want to believe regardless of the evidence, or put another way, with the poor evidence they have in front of them. If it is easier for you to shoot digitally, then by all means go for it. Just don't make a blanket statement that it is better because it is easier for you. I make digital images too. It has it's place.
