Larry, I printed A3's from both my *istD and K10D and never had a problem with resolution. In my office I have a picture (which is a square crop of K10D's frame) that is printed on canvas having 40cm or so (I will check in a week, when I am back in) on the side and it looks fantastic. I should

I notice it when I go to 1:1 view in LR. I see much more camera blur with my K-5 than I ever did with my K100D Super, and nothing changed in my technique between cameras. I also notice it in file sizes. 25MB is much heavier on my computer and memory cards than 10MB was. Realistically, since 99

It’s a big deal for me, but that’s because I’m impatient and have a short attention span and often fail to take enough time to compose properly. So I have to do a lot of cropping. Thus, more pixels are a win. -T On Sun, Sep 23, 2012 at 10:08 AM, Larry Colen l...@red4est.com wrote: In real

I enjoy taking photos of brambles and woods, and these combine a low magnification level with lots of detail. The differences in resolution between sensors, and between MF film and sensors, is quite apparent even in small prints. The lower the resolution, the more the details merge together.

with the 6MP istDS, when using sharp lenses, I get pixelation of diagonals at high magnifications. More MP would alleviate this situation. - J.C.O'Connell hifis...@gate.net - -Original Message- From: pdml-boun...@pdml.net [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On
