Re: How big you can print a 6 MP image?

[Michael Cross]

Canon has sample images on its website for the D60 (6mp) and the EOS 1Ds 
(11.1mp).  I downloaded each and printed on my photo printer at 8x10. 
To my eyes, the EOS 1Ds image is indistinguishable from a "real" 
photograph.  Looking closely, the D60 image is not as nice as the EOS 
1Ds image, but at a normal viewing distance it looks pretty damn good.

A question regarding the new d ist. 
Somebody knows how big a 6 MP image can be printed (ie
at 300 dpi)? A4? A3?
This new camera is very tempting. Sad I'm broken ;-)
   

Hi Albano,

Sure. I just opened a 6MP image. It is 3072 pixels by 2048 pixels. 
Resized from 72ppi to 300ppi, without resampling (in Photoshop) the image 
size is now 26cm X 17cm (10.2 in X 6.8 in). I would readily re-size the 
pic to 300ppi WITH resampling and get a smashing 12 in by 8 in, and will 
go up to A3 size no problem at all. Yes, a print of some 16 in X 12 in is 
NO PROBLEM at all for a 6MP image. Believe it.
