True, but unless you are talking about variable processing the 
"opto-chemical sensors" have a fixed response, which you could modify 
of course with post processing.  The digital sensor's response is 
remarkably variable both with built-in software/hardware as well as 
post processing. So it is somewhat different. What you may find 
interesting is that you can load custom processing curves into some 
digital cameras that mimic the response curves of various films like 
Velvia or Provia, or you can do it afterword as an action in Photoshop.
