   That is true. I can vouch for it having used both. The rea trick   
   actually is in the glass, as they say. The capability of lenses in SLRs   
   together with the much larger CCD makes a huge difference.

   Depends. There are DSLR cameras now that have way more pixels than on   
   Kodachrome slide.

   film did, with shadows going black or highlights washed out.  One must do   
   special compensation to get good pictures from such scenes.  Digital also   
   seems to have less exposure    
   lattitude than film, although the meters of modern digital cameras seem to be   
   pretty accurate, including being 'smart' enough to realize a train's headlight   
   is not part of a scene for exposure determination.   
      
   There are many DSLR cameras that will take DSLR quality video, though   
   they are really pricey, much more so than a cheaper video camcorder.
