Early, TIFF can have huffman compression and I think another too. Think WinZip inside the file format. Was one compressed maybe?
Yeah. LOL! Pretty funny claim.
Did you take a look at their scan of it at what looks like about 20 MP?

It's already come apart. To me that looks about the same as an enlarged (resized) image of about 8mp. It might be their lens or focus I dunno but at that rez there's not a sharp edge in the frame except ultra high contrast street markings and a blow-up of a 4mp image will maintain that. The trees, buildings, grass, cars and most of the boats are toast at 20mp. If I gauge by that sample and the other samples there I guess the film has a max scan res of about 12mp before it starts getting soft and 20mp or so before everything but the high-contrast edges fall apart. 500mp huh? Teeheehee... someone needs to sell some film I think.
The 4000 dpi (about 20mp?) bicycle image on front looks better but still it seems obvious they're at the upper limits and parts of it look like it's been sharpened to me - I guess maybe by the scanner package? On top of that notice again that other than the ultra high contrast areas the image looks almost like a soft-focus lens was used. Signs that it's being scanned above it's equivalent digital resolution.
Oh well, sales people huh?
This film claims it is equivalent to 500 MP.
