That depends upon the quality of the film source. if it's a clean 35mm negative it has a higher quality. 6K is the resolution that digital film is roughly equivalent to full Academy frame 35mm scanned at the same resolution, so basically it's where digital film cathes up to film scanned digitally. Capturing every last detail of 35mm film would be closer to 14,000x7,000 if the digital film system had the full rgb capabilities of film, which they do not, so they cannot truly resolve their full numbered resolution.
