I'm a filmmaker... I don't know a single DOP or director who wishes they could work in HD but is limited by finances or knowledge. Again, shaping light is the essence of cinematography. Modern DSLRs far surpass the dynamic range (although not the effective resolution) of 35mm film. And yet the image they produce isn't comparable. When it comes to image quality, bit depth is enormously more important than dynamic range. When it comes to creating an artistic image, dynamic range hasn't been a limit for many decades.

Very informative comment! Could you please tell me what you mean by "effective resolution?" Is it the resolution in px or something to do with dynamic range? (I don't know anything about filmmaking.)

Probably in pixels, good quality 35mm seems to top around "12k" according to some of the people doing scans.

I'm a photographer and filmmmaker. And now?

The world is huge btw.
