Not exactly.
The new, full frame bodies, like the 5D MkII make much better use of light than DSLRs from only a year or two ago and much better than most films of old. The paradyme is shifting. Do you really need a 200mm f2.8 when the body function at ISO 1200 and even 3200, equals the performance of lesser cameras at 400 or 800 ISO??? Maybe, maybe not. I've been very, very happy with an f4 instead, saving weight, bulk and, perhaps, getting a superior lens.
There's no one pat answer. The answer will depend on how the camera is used.
