The best negative films probably still have about a 2 stop advantage
over the best (35mm size) digital in terms of dynamic range. But I
doubt that's enough better to handle full sunlight outdoors and dark
corners indoors a long way from the window. But, as Bob suggests, a
cloudy day may help close the gap. And, going in quite the opposite
direction, I have used flash outdoors shining through a window to
simulate sunshine in a kitchen... useful on a cloudy day where the
window isn't directly visible in the shot.
