Hi! >> So in other words an *istD has as much resolution as we'll realistically >> ever need. Good - 'cos I just bought one!
WR> Depends on how big a print you want to make. WR> Personally, I don't think the thing can go above 8x12 WR> without showing artifacts. WR> This is about the same as 35mm. WR> William Robb This has been my puzzle too. Why would one be interested in pixel count unless it involved print? It has been shown that with some mastery of digital dark room one can produce 30x40 (**cm!**) prints from 6 MP cameras which were exhibition quality. I've visited one such exhibition myself and, well, because I am not as well versed in the craft as other guild members, I couldn't say it was digital until I was told just so. It seems to me that given more pixels (a.k.a. recorded information) one has more room for PhotoShop trickery. In fact, it seems the only reason why I think pixel count does matter somewhat. Especially so if one is studying, say composition. Given more pixels there're more possible ways to crop. Just my one hundreds of your favorite currency. Boris
