Funny story there, I showed my 14mp (downloaded from the Kodak site) inkjet prints and my 6x7 snapshot print to most everyone hanging around PMDL Central. Only Bernie Boston, agreed with me that the 6x7 was substantially better. Maybe he was just humoring me, or maybe it takes a lot of experience to know what to look for, especially when comparing professionally made studio shots to snapshots. But even I agree there is no question that 6mp digital is professionally acceptable which has always been my measuring stick.
