where long exposures and open apertures work great. You get the

The sound is coming out of the wrong aperture again, Godfrey. 8-) 
Project a slide taken on Kodachrome 25 to a width of about 6ft and 
compare it to a similar sized projection of a digital image taken at 
any "speed" the sensor is capable of.
Sit the appropriate 12-16 feet away and tell the difference, Mike.
Easy as pie.  The limiting factor in this case is probably the digital 
projector.
Continuing "discussion" in the form:
..."I think it's this."
"No you're wrong ... I think it's that."
"Hah, you're wrong ... I see it this way."
"No, blowhole, it's not this way, it's that way."...
etc, is both stupid and a waste of time, mike.
Present some evidence of proof that you can see a difference in the 
projection of two such images (both assumed to be the best that the two 
media can produce) with comparable quality projection equipment and I 
might listen to further 'discussion' ... at least to the sound that is 
coming out of the aperture with better modulation control. ;-)
