Dear all, I have a question that is puzzling me... I am currently shooting in argentic with a 35 mm Canon EOS. I recently scanned by best pictures for safety and relized that a 16 bit TIFF file from my medium range scanner (Nikon Cool scan - 4000 dpi) weights nothing less than 135 Mo (half of that if in 8 bits). When I use a more professonal Imacon (6300 dpi), the file goes up to 300 Mo.

I was very surprised to discover that when you shoot with a top range digital SLR such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, the largest raw file per shot is around 25 Mo...

which was very surprising to me: does that mean that images produced by a full frame sensor DSLR are of much lower quality (much less detail / information) than the scanned images from a conventional 35 mm film?...or am I confused ? Is there a correlation between the size and image quality?
Thanks a lot for your kind help!
