You can't really compare digital vs. scanned film on a strict megapixel
basis because as you scan film at higher and higher resolutions what you're
getting is more and more grain information and less and less image
information. A digitally-captured image of a lot fewer than 90 megapixels
will be better than a 90 megapixel image from scanned film.
