Night shots are better with digital camera- No film vs camera debate

Greetings! I am reading an article in a magazine called Digital Photo
Pro. In page 76, one of the photographers of Sports Illustrated said
that the photographs are just better from the digital camera
particularly the night shots. There is no comparison to the film. Can
one explain this to me? Incidentally this photographer uses Canon
10Ds.
A secondary question - Would I cause copy right violations if I gave
the photographers name and quoted his exact remarks with quotation
marks? With thanks.

 

I would think not, as long as you quote him as the person who gave the
remarks and where you found it... It's called referencing. It's done in
books all the time

 

full album is loaded, but the Bellagio Fountains and NY NY by night are nice
photos.

ALL done with a DX4900 KODAK, hand held and no enhancements using software

The sample photos I have seen from the 10D at 800 ISO looked very nice.
Even the 1600 ISO images looked pretty decent. Images on ISO 800
film, and especially ISO 1600 film are not so nice looking.

Probably not, if you only quoted a small part of the article you read
it in, and provided a link to that article. That is my opinion.

 

Garbage. Try taking a several-hour exposure of the night sky from a very
dark location, then tell me that digital is better than film.
