True, and it's one of those differences between the ideal and reality. In
reality, film grain limits the effective resolution of the image.

Cool, I didn't remember the exact resolution. I do remember that they
couldn't carry the storage on the camera; they had to use multiple
cables[1] from each camera to a separate storage server, where the images
were stored uncompressed[2] for processing.
[1] Due to high bandwidth needs, I'm pretty sure they used multiple cables
per camera.
[2] Film / audio used in a studio is usually stored uncompressed for
processing. But everyone here probably already knows that...
