Cotty, I can bring a couple of prints of the largest size I can muster. Currently I have an A4, but there's always the labs.
Mark, I have also noticed what you describe in some circumstances. Notably when the scene contains finer detail than the *istD can resolve, such as grassy fields, canopy, etc. But I don't think that's particularly the *istD. Jim Brandenburg has a couple of shots in his nature calendar "looking for summer" that exhibits the same thing. Examples are day 2, 5, 9 and especially day 12. Hope these links work: http://www.jimbrandenburg.com/days_of_summer/htmls_days_of_summer/day_02.html http://www.jimbrandenburg.com/days_of_summer/htmls_days_of_summer/day_05.html http://www.jimbrandenburg.com/days_of_summer/htmls_days_of_summer/day_09.html http://www.jimbrandenburg.com/days_of_summer/htmls_days_of_summer/day_12.html What I would like to know, though, is whether this is a software problem or not.... I have a hunch that this isn't entirely caused by the resolution limits.
