all rigth kids in a 35mm motion pictures frame you get 12 million pixels (motion pictures frames are exposed vertically ) and 35mm still frames are exposed horizontally. can any one guess now! in other words film has so much definition , that in not even funny.

In a 35mm film camera, the image is recorded on a chemical emulsion of silver and other elements. The molecules that make up the emulsion are the logical equivalent of very small pixels. The result is a negative or slide with the picture on it.

In a digicam, the image is recorded on a grid of tiny light sensors. Each of these creates a pixel of data. The result is a computer file which can be reconstructed into a picture.

The pixels and molecules are only roughly equivalent. I have seen estimates that 20 megapixels will be close to 35 mm film. But they are really very different physically, so there are other differences besides element size.

"pixels" is not a term they use in 35mm photography. It's "speed" of film. 100, 200, 1600.....The lower the speed, the less grain and the better the photo you will have..
