35mm Film Holds a Lot of Information
When I first began shooting digitally, I would shoot on film and then scan the image. I am still amazed at how much information is on a piece of 35mm film. Scanned at 5700 dpi, a file will be well over 120 MB. If scanned in 16 bit - which I prefer - a file will be twice that size. Brad Templeton has a good FAQ on the relationship between pixels and 35mm film.
