It all depends on how much you want to enlarge a picture using the film. You cut the pixels in half every time to double the size of a print. If you have a 35mm color slide or negative (which is 1.5x1 inches)scanned at 2700 dpi, and make a 3x2 print you cut the dpi in half (equilalent to cutting the 20megs to 10 megs). Then double it to 6x4 print and you're already at 5meg or 675dpi. You can keep doubling the size until you get to about 200dpi, for a still not too grainy looking picture.

If you want to make good sized enlargements, you really need that high film grain. This is why film is still much better than digital, at this time.
