Possibly, but it would be awfully bad film ;-)

For a 35mm negative, I find 4000DPI with low grain film, I do not see film 
grain...and the filesize is 4000 x 1 x 4000 x 1.5 x 3 (8 bits/color) or 72M 
bytes of raw data, and at 12 bits/color it would be 108M bytes.

I see from the trade press that Fuji has released a semipro digital SLR 
with
a 6mb + pixel photosensor. Several months ago there was a thread on the LUG 
that suggested that a 6mb pixel density would be the threshold for film
equivalent results in digital photography. Does anyone care to comment?
