Film camera (negative film) can capture larger colour variation (shadow and highlight) than any modern digital camera. But colour reproduction depends strongly on photo printing shop if you use negative film, slide films are better but more expensive overall. If someone tells that it is useless, that is nonsense. Let's do some calculations...
Most popular large format film has 4"x5" film, a good scanner scans at 4000dpi...which results in 4x5x4000x4000=320MP i.e. 320 megapixels of R&G&B (remember that 10MP camera has 2.5 MP red, 2.5 MP green and 5MP green pixels only)
Now comes a shocker(at leat for me). Do you know what camera do National Geographic photographers use?
Nearly all use 35mm transparency film, such as Fuji Provia 100, Fuji Velvia 50, Kodachrome 64, and Kodachrome 200. Brand and type are up to the photographer, but most use three or four different emulsions, depending on the situation. They also use small amounts of other 35mm transparency emulsions as well as some 35mm color negative and larger format films. It’s up to the photographers, and their most popular choices are Canon and Nikon 35mm SLRs and the Leica M6 range finder(Google).
So, Film rules over Digital.
