Several month back I printed a couple of 2.7Mp shots on Zeropix prints, with a size of 20"x15". Very sharp leh

I am aware that 2.1MP can be used for Super 8R. I just want to check if 3.2MP can achieve a good 10R Blowup. Deciding how many MP to get.

With a good, clean image, a 3mp file from a camera like the EOS D30 can easily to 10x15" without noticeable noise/grain. With the current crop of 6mp DSLRs you can probably go even bigger. Even with the prosumer digicams, you can get decent large prints at the lower ISOs. I've always printed images from Coolpix 950 (2mp) at 8x10 without any problems. They always blow people away when I told them it's a 2mp image.

TIF and JPEG difference is in the no. of colors and file size, I don't think JPEG will induce any noise or grain.

Hi CKiang,
when you mean 2mp, does it mean in TIF? or best resolution in JPEG will do?

hehe ... but I don't want too spend too much ... at the same time I don't want to buy and regret. I think I'll look for 4MP.

JPEG FINE. It's crazy to shoot TIFFs as there is no difference between printing from a TIFF file and JPEG FINE file.

There's a huge different somewhere, with tiff or raw it takes up 3 times the file size than jpeg. Many will protest, but I think its really unnecessary to waste the memory shooting raw if you don't know how to use it :devil:
Ah, but you can always learn the skills in the future. Once JPEQ, always JPEQ.Originally posted by ckiang
Shooting RAW without the requisite skills to properly process them is a waste of time and memory space.
