Re: CoolPix 950 question...

[Eric Boutilier-Brown <ebb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

A generally accepted resolution for "photo quality" (i.e. as good as
an original high quality photo) is 300 dpi. The 950 is 1200x1800
resolution, so it would yeild a 4"x6 print at 300 dpi. At 150 dpi,
yeilding a lower-quality image with some visible digital effects
(jagged edges etc) would yeild an 8"x12" image. Personally I doubt an
11x14 would be acceptable - I have produced 8x10 prints from this
camera using both Epson printers and Fuji's Pictorgraphty 4000 and
neither would have passed close inspection as photo-realistic.
