The \"film-like quality\" business baffles me. Back in the day when digital was a poor second in image quality terms, this might have been regarded as a positive thing. Today, while film and digital may be different in certain ways that may or may not matter in ones work, I would not want my digital camera to produce \"film-like images\" any more than I would want a film system to produce \"digital-like images\" - I just want it to produce the best image quality that it can.
In general, once someone starts claiming that something is better because of its \"film-like qualities,\" \"outstanding drawing\" quality, \"colors and contrast,\" or other magical qualities... my BS meter usually turns on... ;-)
