Re: *ist D sensor and 35mm lens resolution

The question is who, at least amongst folks doing photographic work, has a 72 
ppi monitor anymore. Mine is closer to 100 ppi, and I am not using the highest 
res my system is capable of. 72 ppi is a Postscript to type size figure. It 
would be more properly called picas (or points per inch, though a true pica is 
1/72.27 of an inch), and has little to do with what size something is displayed 
on your monitor.

You can figure your monitors ppi by taking your horizontal resolution and 
dividing it by the width of the screen. Using that method I get 91 ppi for mine 
(1280/14) And the best possible, keeping 32bit color, is 137 ppi (1920/14).

BTW: Why does a 72 ppi computer screen picture seem as sharp/have as high a
resolution as a 300 dpi print?
