Hey,

i have come into this thread a little late, so i am not to sure of its 
origin. None the less i would like to add something here.
This is clearly about digital cameras, but i would like to clarify
something for peoples general interest with digital photography.

All photographics images in their digital format must have a 600dpi
resolution or higher. I dont have experience with digital cameras, but
i do alot of scanning of photos that i take for my graphic design work.
the higher you wish to "blow-up" an image, the higher the resolution you
have to scan it at.
