So are JBQ's two film scanners (yes, he's got lots of photo gear). However, you have to clean up dust afterwards (if you want the pics printed or published), and you will have to wait at least an additional 1-2 hours to get the film back from the lab. So yeah, you are getting your "whopping" 12MP, but you also get considerable time delay and inconvenience. For point-n-shoot purposes, I advocate that digital is more convenient for most "normal" people (meaning, non-prosumer photographers who can get good results with both film and digital SLRs). Remember, I didn't say "better", I said "more convenient".
