8 Megapixel camera limited to 8cmx10cm prints?

Really? I have a 600ppi laser printer right here.

Really? And it prints 600ppi full color dots? Not 600ppi dots which
are arranged in a pattern to emulate true color dots? My Epson 1270
has exceedingly high resolution, but a true color dot is composed of
many of actual printer dots.

Yours is an ink-jet printer.

Yeah so? Last I heard lasers worked exactly the same way. Only dye
sub printers actually did varying color dots. What laser printer has
600 ppi of true color dots?

Fuji Frontiers vary the colour as well, but they're not really printers as
such...

Thanks, I virus scanned it and it doesn't seem to be a virus, just a
shortcut from my desktop that somehow wandered into a message
I haven't a clue how.

If you have an 8 megapixel camera with a 4x5 ratio area then that
corresponds to 3150 pixels wide x 2520 high = 8 megapixels.

It is worse than you think. It takes three pixels to make a virtual point.

It does not.
It takes three points to create a pixel.
