There is alot more to this issues than just pixels. The comparison between film pixels and digital pixels is a coparison between apples and oranges and rotten apples at that. Film pixes are far more random in nature. They vary in size shape and placement. This is not the case for digital pixels. This is an issue in still photography. In motion picture quality it is a huge issue. The randomnes of the pixels in film create an effect of oversampling at 24 frames per second. The digital pixels never vary so you get no oversampling effect. The gap between digital and film in motion pictures is not close to being closed.
