... arrived today, and I'll be giving them a good examination. My first reactions are mixed, with the print made from the Canon D30 getting a big "thumbs down" for a photo quality image. The prints made from the Pentax Optio 330 at first glance appear superior, although they are substantially smaller than the print made from the Canon.
I'd say, without hesitation, that the Pentax certainly ~seems~ to be capable of producing a 5x7 print that's an acceptable alternative to that done by the "average" lab. Certainly the prints would be more than acceptable to the typical amateur photographer who is looking for family snaps, memories of important events, and the like. I like them for that purpose. Perhaps a good test of this assumption is to show the prints to a few friends who use inexpensive P&S, lower-end SLRs, and digital cameras, and hear what they have to say. Nonetheless, I like those Optio "happy snaps". More upon further examination. -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
