Stoppable said:Been looking around for a DC and looking a the prices, 4mp prosumer cams look like a good buy. As I sometimes print in 8R, how would 4mp pictures look?
CaeSiuM said:One tip, try to minimise hand-shake by using an appropriate shutter speed. Usually the guide(not rule) of using 1 / focal length for shutter speed is a good estimate, but really dependent on the ability of the photographer to steady his shot. Experiment and find out.

mervlam said:no... in a sense, it's related. careful choosing of shutter speed can help. eg, a 2MP camera producing a good 8R print. the details are blown up, meaning those handshake "blur" is magnified also.
ckiang said:Don't believe the camera marketers. A 2mp camera from 1999 can easily produce a good 8x10" given that proper techniques are used. A 3-4mp camera should easily give you a good 10x15". And don't be obsessed with looking at prints 10cm away, via a 10x loupe, etc etc.
