Well, if we assume that a video frame has a resolution of say ( generous
ballpark ) 625 * 1000, a casual glance at any photographic negative down
a microscope should soon persuade you that the grain size is the hell of
a lot smaller than that. The actual grain size is going to depend on
film speed and processing but you'd be very hard pushed to do worse than
video.
