[] 5MP is decent. I get tack-sharp 5 X 7's from my Coolpix 5700, but 8 X 10's leave something to be desired. Not bad, but not 300 PPI which is considered by most people to approximate "photo quality". I'm not talking about soft images..I'm referring to images that appear sharp on screen. My next camera will probably be 7 or 8 megapixels to give me that extra cropping flexibility, and to allow for the occasional *big* enlargement with optimum results. I'm torn between the Coolpix 8400 and the 8800. I haven't figured out which end is more important to me..wide or telephoto. I've just printed a Nikon 990 image (3.3MP) at A4 size (210 x 297mm) and the results (to me) were outstanding - it beat the olf 35mm kit with its 28 - 200mm zoom lens. I had always been been put off by people saying you couldn't get away with this. Of course, these A4 prints are not intended to be examined with a magnifying glass! Yes, of course, 8MP then gives you either better quality, or more cropping ability. Why not get /both/ the Nikon 8400 and the 8800 if you can't decide (although I feel that the FZ20 is a more useful camera than the 8800 because of the larger aperture at full telephoto). I'm very please with both. Cheers, David |
