I've made really good looking 8x10 prints from cropped digital images of
around 1000x1200 dpi, or about 1.2mp. That means to me that 5mp is good
for 16x20 prints, as our E-10 and E-20 users have said.
YMMV. I like to print image files of 180 dpi (720/4) or more, but I usually
find 120 dpi (720/6) acceptable. That's 2.6 MP+ or 1.15 MP for an 8x10"
print! However, a fully-scanned, properly downsampled image of "x" MP looks
*much* better than a pic form a "x" MP digicam.
Good post, and I agree with everything except this. The difference
between scanned 35mm and a good 2 mp digital, printed on my Epson 1270
as 8x10s is quite subtle. Which is better? Hard to say, but it isn't for
sure the film every time. I'm not saying film isn't better in many ways,
it is. But my experience is different than yours.
