This implies that 9 megapixels is required for 8x10...
I'm not saying that's true, just that if 3MP -> 4x5, 9MP->8x10 for the same quality in close examination.

Depends on your viewing distance and well you discrimination, I wouldn't go larger than 4x5.

Hi gang, I'm new to digital with a 3MP camera (Fuji S5000, Pentax not available at all in Argentina, either film or digital). It's capable of shooting RAW and that's what I'm doing. My problem comes when I do prints. I made several 8x10 inch from 3MP files, taking care with unsharp mask, and prints (Fuji Frontier, file at 200dpi) show a sort of grainy look, noisy (pixels, I know). Maybe I'm pushing the resolution? 200dpi is too few? I made 4x6 from 1MP jpg and they look gorgeous. Maybe I'm better with 3 or 6MP jpgs, with the compression eliminating the noise-grain? I think my photoshop skills are next to advanced, but I'm still unable to get satisfactory results from RAW files. Any comments, suggestions, tips? Thanks in advance.
