What you said is correct. But this applies only for a Crop Frame. However on a full frame camera, the raw images produced are sometimes even better than the ones attained by the film cameras. To add the Lightroom software helps to make limitless post processing possibilities and tweaking.

Post production on the Film cameras were a headache and the colours and the details were never as eye popping.

You can always compare a full frame DSLR produced image vs a film based camera image to understand the difference better. (Google it)
