Its not nearly as crisp as the photo I posted (when matched for magnification) and dont forget that groups can get larger (see his first post) and the results were not good at all in that case and wouldnt look acceptable in a large print compared to nice clear faces. Group photos are not like typical photos, you really need to maintain resolution on the faces, so the larger the group the higher the resolution system you need. See my comments about the '88 Bears Team photo. That was about 60 people group shot and its really impressive when each face high resolution is maintained vs when it's NOT. JCO

You certainly don't need any more detail than that. You can get it, but you don't need it for a group photo.
