i have heard that digital photos are more often than not too
sharp. i always thought they werent sharp enough compared to a
normal camera.
now that i think about it, photos do tend to be more grainy and
flat, could be construed as sharp?

I think you're really talking about digital vs. film here, not digital vs. SLR. There are plenty of digital SLRs.
See this thread. |

| Digital cameras are normal, film is history. Digital images as taken are inherently not very sharp and need to be sharpened. Depending on the camera this may be done automatically in the camera, or may be done after uploading to your computer using editing programs. How much sharpening to use is a matter of taste. Less expensive Point & Shoot cameras tend to do more in-camera sharpening aiming to get printable images quickly and easily. More advanced cameras usually do less sharpening in-camera so that the photographer can exercise more control when editing. |

Modern hi-res digital cameras compare very favorably to film based cameras.
Despite peculiarities of electronic imaging, such as aliasing and moire patterns, many photogs claim a 6 mp digital camera is equivalent to a 35mm frame in terms of sharpness and useful resolution.
Unquestionably, film has more image information and detail, but for average use, the difference is not significant. Electronic imaging has arrived and film is struggling to maintain. |
