If I look on my screen at 100% magnification 8MP images (3264 x 2448), then as my screen is 1280 pixels wide and 14.8 inches wide, the equivalent print size I am looking at would be 37.7 x 28.3 inches. Something to bear in mind when looking at 100% zoom! Exactly... And even if you made a print that size, you'd use some sort of "smart" interpolation to get the DPI back up to 300DPI so even in this worse case senerio, much of this still wouldn't be seen. I just don't get why people get so hung up on stuff they see in 100%+ crops that will never show up in a print or a full screen image. I look at 100% when I'm sharpening but that's about the only time I do. For any other comparison, I look at the output. -- Stacey |

For prints that size, 3 1/2x5 or 4.6, 3mp is sufficient, frankly. The difference between 8mp and 6mp for even an 8x10, if you're not cropping much, is mostly in the bragging rights. We're printing up to 24x36, for that, 8mp is the bare minimum, in fact, maybe a bit under minimum. There's an interesting article in this months Digital Photo Pro about this very subject. I hadn't thought about cropping much becasue I never do that with my film prints. But since it's so easy in photoshop I guess it would easy. I can get the 300D downtown for about $800 without waiting, so it's very tempting. I don't know when I can get the 350 and it's only a couple hundred more from what I see.

Some samples from purchased XT's have just been posted on dpreview. I've decided that it's probably the 350D that I'm getting. I was looking at Minolta A1 and A2 and Panisonic Lumix, Canon G6 and the Sony DSC-V3 and 828, but it's looking more and more like the 350D now. I have a lens for it and I hope my flash works on it too. Ck. -- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX Irritating Usenet Signature Here.

ZLRs have much to recommend them, but I do not think you will regret going the DSLR route. -- Ben Rosengart (212) 741-4400 x215 Sometimes it only makes sense to focus our attention on those questions that are equal parts trivial and intriguing. --Josh Micah Marshall |
