I recently picked up a 20x30 inch from the lab from my D30. The print was made in RAW mode at ISO 100. About a week ago I had picked up a 24x36 inch print from a 6x7 Kodak E100SW color slide that had been scanned in and printed on the same 600 dpi inkjet as the D30 photo.
I thought it was interesting to see the differences between the two. While the photo from the D30 was softer, it was, to me, not unacceptable. The photo is of a much higher quality than so many anti digital people who preach the "theory" of resolution say that a 3.34 mpix camera can deliver. While I understand the theory they eschew, in practice, for the things I shoot, I do not find their "theory" to be a gospel. If my D30 could deliver these kind of results, then my new D60 will deliver a much better result.....good enough for almost everything I shoot. To see a photo of a small portion of the enlargements see: http://www.mcclary.net/comp/index.html These photos were made with the D60 in RAW mode then sized to 1024x683 pixel size. The photos were saved as a .jpg at level 9 compression. So be prepared....the files are rather large..about 300k each. While I know this is not the best way to do this, it does give a good idea of how the prints look. -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
