I find digital camera can be too sharp. Sometimes it'll make the subject look fake. I don't know much about digital cameras anyway coz I don't have one. But tried experimenting using my friend's camera. I don't really like the picture. It have that 'what you see is what you get' turnout.
Forget about the price, which one will give better photo?
Can Digital SLR able to mimic the same effect like a 35mm SLR?
Can Digital SLR able to mimic various film effect?
e.g Mercury Vapour Light recorded by the Fujichrome daylight film as a greenish blue or Monochromatic Blue at twilight using tungsten film; Over/Underexpose effect
~Too sharp?
-Buy the D100.
people say it's too soft. Play with the camera's sharpening settings.
~Forget about the price, which one will give better photo?
-Depends on the photographer. Put my D100 in anyone else's hands, and the photos will be much much better.

-No idea what you mean, sorry.

-why not? It IS a camera, after all. set your WB to daylight, and shoot the mercury vapors. voila! set your WB to tungsten, shoot the twilight. there you go! It's not about the equipment limitations, it's how well you understand your options and work with them.
Digital is a good medium for its specific purposes. A photojournalist now would never meet the deadlines with a film camera, unless he carries a color darkroom with him. Insect/Macro photographers will never know if they spent the whole day shooting 10 rolls of film, with not a single good shot. A product photographer will be left guessing for some time after a shoot, hoping that his photos work. Wedding photographers will have no nails left, after biting them all off waiting for contact prints.
Film, likewise, is a good medium for its own purposes. Some pros still use film for studio, weddings. And the average traveller can use it to document a short trip. The analog quality of film will give you infinite shades of colors.
There is no good or bad, many digital shooters still have their film bodies in the drybox, and take out their FM2ns to shoot a roll of film once in a while. The choice is totally yours.
