RE: Common sense (was: Pentax High End DSLR)

So have I - regularly, no more grain than your average 35mm 20x30 inch
print.  In fact, I am constantly amazed at how LITTLE difference
interpolation seems to make to my images when they are stretched so large.

I have printed as large as 12x18 inches (gotta be around 30x40cm)
from istD files, shot RAW and converted using the Pentax software.
No problems visible in the prints, and the paying customers were very
happy with the work as well.

Pro results from a DSLR?
You betcha.

Should you want to just print up to A4 size prints, a 4Mpix digicam is more
than enough, hence don't worry about DSLR, interchangeable lenses, RAW
shooting, portable hard disks, terabytes of memory cards and so on. Some
more common sense, I suppose.

However, we were supposed talking about getting the pro results one could
expect (and usually gets) from a DSLR, weren't we?
