Question

[Marilyn <marilyn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone was asking me if the number of megapixels a camera has in some way 
correlates to a photographer using a larger sheet of film - in other words 
(I don't understand that question the way it is worded, myself) - is using a 
16 megapixel digital camera equal in photographic quality to a photographer 
using a large format film camera loaded with sheets of 16X20 film?

I answered "yes,"  - more megapixels, more information recorded=better 
quality.   Likewise, more film surface, more information recorded=better 
quality.  How would some of you have answered?
