If you’re a high-end cinematographer of a certain age, the answer is “probably not”. But for film viewers, as opposed to filmmakers, the jury is not only out but probably never coming back.
It was only a short generation ago that the question “is video as good as film” would simply not have made sense, or was at least hard-wired to the answer “no”. Film and video have, for most of their existence, evolved along approximately parallel but never until recently intersecting paths. Another way to put this is to say that for most of moving image history, you would never mistake video for film or vice versa.
