www.dpreview.com is a very good place for you to winnow your
choices.

For good prints at 5x7 and reasonable at 8x10 consider a camera
with about 300 dpi potential output:

5 x 300 = 1500
7 x 300 = 2100 X

= ~ 3 Mpixels.

So any 4 or 5 Mpix camera that otherwise meets your needs should
suffice.


Cameras do not have dpi output. Digital images are composed of
pixels,


Please read more carefully next time.

The tie in is his desire for 7x5 prints and the arithmetic provided (and
restored above) makes the link clear enough.

Take your annon-nym and blow.
