Exactly. In a shoot in April 2003 I shot a large group photo in 
available light with the then brand new 10D, then took the "serious" 
photos with a film body, same lens. When I got the film back and 
scanned it, the digital at 800 was so superior to film at 400 that it 
ended film for me. Provia F may beat the 20D, but maybe not, in 
real-world application.

Awaiting the inquisition now, with the pitchforks and torches.

Nonsense. Just plan on another 40 years to get even better with this 
medium...

That's my line anyway.
