Remember when we had just plain color tv's. The local news and some sports
were always better from the direct video off the cameras, which were not all
that far from digital. It's the edge sharpening and such. That can, however,
maik digital noise really gross.

I've also seen a portrait printed as an inexpensive poster of 18x24" 
made from a 3MP Canon D30 image.  Standing back a couple feet it looked very
good.  So why do we have groundrules of 300 dpi for small prints and 240 or
thereabouts for large prints which I also believe to be roughly consistent
with measures for CoC which are supposedly based on resolving power of the
human eye.

Is this old wives tales from film?  Has digital and the lack of grain
radically changed the rules?
