You need to be careful with digicam and printer specs; most marketing people confuse "pixels" and "dots". There's a subtle but very important difference.

This is a meagre 6 MPixels, 24 bits per pixel. I will certainly not accept to have my film destroyed for as little as this. Servus, Alin

OT: Applied SciFi blooper
Just spotted one in a CVS dowstairs. Looks like... well, applied scifi. You insert a roll of film, in 10 minutes it develops the negs and then you can print it, you can get the scanned CD. Almost wanted to try it, until... "to ensure your privacy, your negatives will be delivered on a CD, and the film will be unusuable and recicled." Ooops... I guess the 1hr lab around the corner will still handle my film for a while. Mishka
