Thumbs up Digital vs Film TV shoot-out

GOOD NEWS FOR THE DIGITAL WORLD?

For those who may have missed..
UK TV programme called the 'Gadget Show' had an episode dedicated to 'blow-up'
The last part of the show had them testing two studio shots. One using film in a Nikon F5 nearly as battered as mine, the other one using the new bells and whistles digital D700, blew them up to building size, and decided which one they liked best.
here's the clip from the gadget show website;

rather amusing that Suzi Perry said she liked film better, whilst they were having the shots done...then promptly chose the digital poster when faced with the results!! lol

Shame it didn't say which film was used in the F5, why iso 400 was chosen, and what was going on with white balance?

presumably they chose Nikon, as they couldn't find a film Canon Eos still working? lol
