  Why would you want to stand 35cm in front of a projection screen and
look at
a corner?

I always walk right up to the screen to check small details. If I can't
see grain its K 25 if I can it's 64. Find out if a murder had been
committed unknown to the casual passers by. If I can't see the split
ends on the ends of thier eyelashes I send the whole thing back and get
my money back(if possible).

   and get a reasonable camera like a Nikon, hasn't this thread gone on
way too long?
