   That's complete nonsense.   Film, first, has a few-photons threshold, and   
   the color film variants have some filter layers (so there is light absorbed   
   other   
   than by the developable grains).   Solid-state sensors have a few photons/sec   
   background noise, and to get color, you mask with filters a trio of sensors   
   (each insensitive to colors outside the designed range).   
      
   Grain size limits the film resolution, pixel size limits the digital image   
   resolution.   
      
   Either technology can match what a human eye sees.   Neither is   
   perfect in any respect, though a digital image can be stored with checksums and   
   presumably age won't change it.   If age DID change one bit of one pixel,   
   though, it'd invalidate   
   the checksum- some disk drives will refuse to even give you a guess as to what   
   was stored, when the checksum says it's bad.
