But now I'm questioning if that is true. 6MP will do a perfectly adequate 11x14 inch print with no tribble at all. Thats about as big as you really need to go for most wedding work, and it's quite possible to go larger with interpolation. 6x7 won't go much bigger than that anyway, really, not much more than 16x20. The fine detail isn't resolved as well as larger film sizes, but this doesn't mean the images aren't sharp. Most wedding photographers big prints have been shot through some sort of softening filter anyway. > > I don't know that 6 megapixel *ist D pictures aren't sharp.
