Show me a digital camera, at ANY price, that can match Fuji 1600 film pushed to 3200

What is your chief complaint, noise in the shadows, lack of effective speed or inability to handle the gamma range? Or all of the above?

The extremes will be the hardest areas to address. I fully expect digital to solve some of the worst problems that photography struggles with eventually. One of which is having situational light extremes too far apart to fit within the usable range of the film and the other biggie which is controlling color temperature in a mixed lighting situation. Remember we have Moore's law working, so if your problem isn't addressed right now....it will be.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think film will be replaced altogether, but I think it will become a luxury item the way that film is in TV production.
