So they are getting closer to film, but still have a ways to go. For example, what about contrast, film speed, etc? Take a look at http://pic.templetons.com/brad/photo/pi
Also, every "pixel" in film has at least 8 bits of red, green, and blue. But in most digital sensors, each pixel only record 8 bits of red, green, or blue; the pixels are laid out in a mosaic. So the effective resolution compared to film is only 1/2 to 1/3. The exception is the (still in prototype) Foveon X3 sensor. The Foveon does 8 bits of RGB for every pixel. They have a good discussion at http://www.foveon.com/X3_better.html with image comparisons at http://www.foveon.com/X3_comparison.html
