Both 35mm and Digital cameras can have their light sensitivity adjusted: 35mm by using a different speed film (ISO 25, 32, 64, 100, 200, etc.). With digital, you set an ISO which is an approximation of the light sensitivity of the equivalent film. With a similar corresponding increase in grain/noise as the ISO number gets higher.
Aperture has nothing to do with it.

The sensitivity to light in film cameras is not part of the camera; it's in the film. So the comparison is really between the CCD's and various films. For the majority of today's digicams, the highest sensitivity films are more sensitive than their CCD's. However, the best digicams can match or exceed films.
You can find out the film's sensitivity from the label on the box. ASA/ISO 100 is the lowest sensitivity 35 mm film. ISO 800 was the highest I ever used. Higher ISO films could take pics in lower light or faster shutter speeds, but yielded more grainy looking pics.
In digicams, there is an ISO setting that simulates changes the sensitivity. It works by amplifying the sensor's output. You can choose from ISO 64 to ISO 400 in most newer cameras. More expensive digicams now have up to ISO 1000; d-SLR's can have even higher ISO settings.
In digicams, higher ISO settings allow shooting in lower light and with faster shutter speeds, but often make pics with digital "noise" (small colored dots). Digicam performance varies widely, with d-SLR's making the clearest high ISO pics.
Good Luck

Yes, but marginally.Sensitivity is dependent on the quality of the camera, and the settings of the camera.
Aperture Settings on the camera can adjust sensitivity.
Digital Cameras are not very good at picking up depth of field, while a film camera can be amazing at depth of field.

I can't answer if it's more sensitive or not. However I prefer to see the color and contrast of a film rather then (35mm equivalent) DSLR.
I can't give you link of comparison because I never saw one. But I will give you a link of 35mm film scan and you can compare to any DSLR result and see for yourself the different
While viewing my link check on the equipment they use. You don't need expensive latest technology to take good photo.
