Rule of thumb: "Never believe *anything* a salesman tells you" ;-) >Is it to much to ask if the *istD can do a good 20x30 etc at 6.1 pixels.?? I've made a 12 x 18 inch print from one of the test shots I took with an *ist-D in August. Looks great. That's the biggest size I find acceptable with 35mm film and I think 6MP digital is just slightly behind for landscape shots with lots of textures and detail. Of course, my experience with the *ist-D consists of just that one afternoon of shooting - I haven't bought one yet. Others with more experience will have opinions to offer.
