This was about English is very CLEARLY not your first language, so I'll refrain from commenting on yours. > the resolution of the pictures, not the quality of the camera. Hair-splitting isn't a good idea at the best of times, but it's less so when attempting to make spurious points, when in the context you were using it, resolution/quality appear quite interchangeable. > Besides, the quality of the optics influences the quality of the > picture much more than the electronics. No kidding. However, we weren't discussing that. YOU wrote initially: > A 1600x1200 picture reduced to 320x240 for viewing in a newsletter > will look worse than the same picture taken at 640x480. Why waste the > resources for an inferior product? Not much reference there to lens quality. And I stand by my initial statement: that is clearly incorrect information you are giving out if the person doing the image manipulation has even the vaguest idea as to what they're doing. > Next week we are starting digital photography 101 and have one opening > available. When being a smart-arse, it's preferable to be former rather than the latter. You might consider it. Anyway, this is: a) dead-horsed, whether you've been away or not, and b) a poor attempt to drag a losing discussion off-course.
