That's a function of 'film speed'.

Modern digital cameras can adjust to provide the illusion of different film
speeds.


Right, but the higher ISO settings yield more noisy images.

Yeah maybe if I spent 2 grand on a DSLR, the results would be cleaner.

But people use techniques like HDR blending of bracketed exposures to
overcome this limitation with digital.
