I said nothing about 35mm film in my thought experiment, John.
Although I disagree with you there too, from personal experience
making 10x15 and larger prints from both 35mm film and 6-8Mpixel
digital captures. But I'll leave that for another digital vs film
thread.
I said two cameras, one with a 8Mpixel sensor of 24x36mm dimension
and one with 8Mpixel sensor of 16x24mm dimension. Sensors equal
digital cameras, not film.

Godfrey,
All else being equal, the 35mm will look sharper. Assuming both
media are able to do justice to each lens, and that each lens is
able to resolve N lpmm, and that the 35mm lens will fill the frame
as much as the 50mm (it's too late for me to work that out), the
35mm image will need less enlargement.
