Somebody w
what dpi, dots per inch resolution does the film have?
Answer
That is an apples to oranges comparison.
It would depend on the film/film speed, print size, and type of digital camera (sensor density) being compared. Film does not have DPI, it has lines per millimeter (L/mm).
Depending on the film used, quality/size of the final image, and the math formulas, film could be said to be between 39 and 180+ megapixels. For example, you could drum scan a 35mm negative and enlarge it to cover the side of a barn and not lose detail/tonal quality. Even the best DSLR file, would pixelate at a fraction of that size.

How do I know which megapixel camera to get? A 10 or an 8?

I've been reading reviews on some cameras and some people say just b/c a camera megapixel setting is higher doesn't mean you'll get a better picture. Is this true? I notice that some 8 megapixel cameras get really good reviews and are cheaper than the 10 megapixel cameras. The 10 megapixel cameras get really good reviews too, but are more expensive. How do I know what camera to buy?
Answer
Pay no attention to the megapixels. Every modern camera has more than enough for anything you would want to do. In fact to many megapixels on a tiny sensor can be worse.
The biggest determiner of image quality would be the optics (lens). On point and shoot cameras I would go for the one with the most zoom. With an SLR you should get the best lens you can afford.
Next would be the analog to digital converter (the inner workings of the camera). This is how the camera takes what it sees and converts it to a digital image.
Next would be the sensor size. Point and shoot cameras have tiny sensors. SLR's have much larger sensors. As much as 15 times larger. This is why a 6mp DSLR will take a far superior photo than a 12mp point and shoot.
Finally would be the amount of mega pixels. While technically speaking the more mp the larger and more detailed you can blow up a picture. The problem comes in the size of the pixels not in how many there are. Tiny pixels generate more heat on the sensor. More heat equals more noise or grainyness to your pictures.
So I would encourage you to look at all the other features of the camera. The one that has the features you want is the camera you should get.
