Hmm... wouldn't that point to the fact that film already looks pretty much as good as possible, while DV still has lots of room for improvement?

Honestly, the DV pictures I've seen look like OPEN ASS compared to stuff shot on film (no, I didn't see the latest Star Wars movie). Two examples I've seen recently: Session 9 and Panic... neither one is anything approaching a good movie, but they're made gigantically more ghetto by the fact that they were shot in DV.

Digital film cameras are not DV cameras, so don't sweat it. If you saw Attack of the Clones, and better yet in a digital theatre, you'd understand that everything is groovy in this regard.

Furthermore I disagree about film being "as good as possible". Fast movement is still a 24 fps mess. I'd love digital filming to improve on this.

On a slight tangent: Silent Hill 3 has a film grain effect over all the visuals, and it looks great.
